Well, I tried to show a colleague crossfire on his PC, which was running
eXceed for Windows.  So far, crossfire has been the only X program that would
NOT run on eXceed.  I suppose it may be possible to get the fonts on the PC,
but this is not convenient.  By the way, I can't remember the error I got - 
sorry - but, I do remember that I got the screen you get while waiting for the
pixmaps (or xpms) to be created...

P.S.  Please don't play on my server if you have a lot of packet loss (>5%).
Try to find a closer server.  Sonja's been getting busier all the time, and
it sucks when the games freezes 'cause of somebody's bad connection!!!
P.P.S.  To whomever wrote 'mystic fist': Thanks.  It's cool!
