- A solution to the jerky tty00 is to use SAS.

- It looks like extra-man got lost during the update from 1.0.2 to 1.1.
- It is now on ftp.physics.su.oz.au (in /XFree86/SVR4), and hopefully
- stasi will be updated soon. (I picked it up from ferkel.ucsb.edu -- which
- also holds the SVR4 XFree86 binaries.)
