*.Z for Xarm33 and *.gz for every server in the NetBSD's X(free86)
source tree (i.e. xvidc).

But IIRC Xarm33 needed a db version of the file rgb.txt as well
and there are some other differences to Xfree86. (E.g. /usr/X11
instead of /usr/X11R6, that's why many RISC PC users have a
symlink X11->X11R6 )

Go xvidc. It's much better anyway.
(You need NetBSD 1.4 to run it.)
