Hi all,
	I have just got the new released version of Xfree 2.1, its a binary 
release that means I need not to compile it. According to the documentation,
what I have to do is simply unarchive the file in /usr/X386 and it should then
replace my current Xfree86 2.0 . The process seems sucessful when unarchive all
the file and I can start X without any problem, but once I use xman to see
the new manu, I found that many keyword are marked with '(z)' , eg xman (z)
and I just cannot even I selected one item to view, it display nothing! Even 
those old command cannot be viewed ( except those haven't marked with '(z)'.
	Another problem is I wanna like my X server with PEX but I just don't
know how to do it ( I think the enclosed documentation is not sufficiently clear).
	If U have successfully installed the new version of Xfree2.1, would U
please tell me what should I do ?!
