XOpenIM can you confirm?

[Pavel Kudrna]

Sorry for cross posting to Cygwin list.

I am currently complaining about X11R6.4 from the archive
01.11.99  14:21  13 988 682 cygwin-xfree-x11r6.4-cygwin-B20.1.tar.bz2
from the directory "cygwin/xfree/xc-4-binaries/".
This one you mean is bad?

I have another X11R6.4 archive which seems to be newer according to
the time of the creation:
27.12.99  17:56   16 461 671 B20_X11R6_4.tar.gz
from " ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin32/packages/
X11R6.4/B20_X11R6_4.tar.gz"
It is recommended by
http://dao.gsfc.nasa.gov/software/grads/win32/X11R6.4
Should I use this instead?

Thanks for help
Pavel Kudrna.
