I thought of that myself, but I wasn't sure my 32 MB RAM and 1 GB HD would
suffice, or if it would finish in a week.  I would like to suggest if I
may that a README be posted in binary/sets mentioning the fact that it's
missing.  I spent quite a while scratching my head.  What do you think.

I found x11/xterm, but "make" produces only:

===> xterm-164 is not available for NetBSD-1.6-vax

I installed a alternative last night, x11/aterm.  

Thanks for the information, Brian.
