Xlife version 1.6 is now on expo.lcs.mit.edu

/contrib/xlife.1.6.tar.Z

Changes from v 1.0 to 1.6

	* accepts -geometry and -bw
	* more save file formats. see lifeconv.c and 
		xlife.6 for the details.
	* cursor relative loading
	* cursor relative zoom/unzoom
	* arrow keys work, along with a help key if you have one
	* if for malevolent reasons your keypad is not returning numbers,
		you can now use it for movement and centering of the image.
		The Sun type-4 keyboard is such a beast.
	* diagonal movement via 1357
	* with scale > 3, cells are drawn with a black border

	* FASTER! (much)

The distribution is missing the file lifeutil.c (either that or the
Imakefile has old/bad references to lifeutil.c and lifeutil.o).  When
you start the make it also complains with something like "Inconsistent
rules for 'clean'".  This was on a sun3 running X11R4.
