Here I offer some ports for XFree86 for OS/2 (XFree/2). Often I just managed to build them and didn't take care of the special not un*x-like environment. In some cases I may not even have tested the software except the programs somehow start up on my system. I also do not claim to work further on any of these ports, but if you like send me a note with your reports and comments!
Therefore I take NO RESPONSIBILITY for any damage this software might cause!
XFree86/ directory tree
when you "unzip" them. So you don't have to figure out yourself where to put
all the different files (man pages, application defaults, binaries,
documentation ...).
