Oh well, we've gone beyond my abilities.  I'd like to take some courses in
"C", but at the moment, I really wouldn't know what to do.  I don't know
anything about patching.  If it's simple maybe somebody can walk me through
it.

It looks like I'm out of luck until somebody decides to make a NetBSD
package of xfm.  (hopefully xfm-1.4.2 vice 1.3.2)

Thanks for the help
