Harold:

I think Andreas must've meant this page:

http://cygwin.com/xfree/devel/

This has the problem in the body at line 199, where the link mentioned 
points to http:://xfree86.cygwin.com/donations.html instead of 
http://xfree86.cygwin.com/donations.html

By the way, since this is my first post (I'm a long-time lurker), I want 
to mention that you guys are great!  Thanks to all the developers here: 
you give me a reason to want to boot into Windows.  I guess since you 
only have people posting with bugs or problems, you don't hear the 
success stories.  So here's my "been running xfree-cygwin now for over a 
year with zero problems ever" heads-up.

Thanks again!
p.s. cut 'n paste this from the archives- hope it doesn't mess up 
anyone's mail archives overly much.
