Here is a roadmap to the R5 sources:

	README		this file
	RELNOTES.PS	Release Notes in PostScript
	RELNOTES.TXT	Release Notes in plain text
	RELNOTES.ms	Release Notes, troff source, -ms macros
	mit-1/		MIT core distribution, part 1
	mit-2/		MIT core distribution, part 2
	mit-3/		MIT core distribution, part 3
	mit-4/		MIT core distribution, part 4
	xdm-auth/	Info about HasXdmAuth config option
	fixes/		Public fixes to the MIT core distribution
	contrib-1/      Contrib distribution, part 1
	contrib-2/      Contrib distribution, part 2
	contrib-3/      Contrib distribution, part 3

Each of the mit-<N> and contrib-<N> directories contains a single tar file,
split into pieces, plus a file (CHECKSUMS) of the checksums for each piece,
plus a compressed listing (FILES.Z) of all the files in the tar file.
The split pieces are all 512k (524288 bytes) long (except for the last piece)
and must be transfered in binary mode.  You will find it useful to turn off
interactive prompting in ftp (start ftp with the -i option or use the "prompt"
command) and use the "mget" command to retrieve the files.

After transferring all of the files, please read the release notes for
information on how to extract and build the software.

If you are getting the MIT core distribution, you would do well to also
get and apply all public fixes before you build it.

A quick guide to the MIT tar files:

mit-1		Contains everything not in mit-2, mit-3, and mit-4. :-)
mit-2		Contains mit/clients/, mit/demos/, mit/rgb/, and mit/server/.
mit-3		Contains mit/fonts/bdf/.
mit-4		Contains mit/doc/ and mit/hardcopy/.

A quick guide to the Contrib tar files:

contrib-1	Contains clients, demos, games, fonts, examples, doc, util
contrib-2	Contains libraries, input methods, extensions, fortran, and
		Motif clients
contrib-3	Contains InterViews, XView, and Andrew
