Cool. Hopefully, I won't need docs, but I like to have stuff, just in case
:-)

! use psselect in pkgsrc/print/psutils to split postscript into even and
! odd pages, or 2-up on two sides, or able to be bound as a book, etc...

! I could've sworn there was a build of X for PMAGB on 
! 3000-series alphas
! out there...  of course my 3000/400s aren't unpacked either.
! 
! rrgh.  :)

I remember seeing that in the archives. Once I get my 2 Multias up and
running, NetBSD/X on the 3000 is next...
