This directory contains alpha releases of xfig and transfig.
The documentation is *not* guaranteed to be current, but the CHANGES.xfig and 
CHANGES.transfig files here and in the tar files are current with each release.

The purpose of releasing alpha versions is to get bugs fixed sooner
than with a full release.

************************************************************************
NOTE:
The tar files are a Linux/Unix source to be compiled with any competent C compiler.
The rpm files are for any Linux system that uses the RedHat Package Manager.

There is a port of xfig for the MacIntosh running Darwin (the MacIntosh
port of XFree86). See http://fink.sourceforge.net/pdb/package.php/xfig
There is a version of xfig which will run under Windows, but still needs
an X server (e.g. Hummingbird Exceed, or Cygwin http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/)
to run.  The URL is:
