I have just put xfig 2.0 patchlevel 9 on expo.lcs.mit.edu
(contrib/xfig-2.0.pl9.tar.Z - be sure to set binary mode)
for anonymous ftp. It is in contrib/xfig-2.0.pl9.tar.Z; be sure
to set binary mode. I have also mailed the diffs to comp.sources.x.
Following are the CHANGES relevant to pl9. I have not yet changed
xfig to conform to the new TransFig 2.1 from Micah Beck (beck@cs.cornell.edu)
as I haven't had much time lately for xfig work.
When I do update it, it will be xfig 2.1 (program version AND file protocol).
Version 2.0

Changes from patchlevel 8:
o New feature for cutting/pasting objects from figures between xfig processes.
