X-server for cygwin-1.1.4 under Win98

[Christian Jönsson]

Thanks for you reply. Let me ask try to get some things
straight to myself and ask you a few clarification questions
please.

Is it correct understanding of me that there is a working,
i.e., on cygwin-1.1.4 under Win98, X-Server available
from the contrib directory?

This server, presumably 

8465407 Jun  4 14:12 X-servers-v-1.0.tar.bz2
1032745 Jun  9 23:56 X-servers-v-1.0-exe.tar.bz2

is not "interoperable" with your xfree86-4.0.1 binary
distribution available in 

ftp://sourceware.cygnus.com/pub/cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries/

right?

Or is there some way of getting the server working with your
binaries?

Thanks,

/ChJ
