The pages were no problem.  But I couldn't get the patch-file, which
was named something like

        xterm-6.5.1-i18n-0.6.patch.gz
 
(I could go lots of places, but that one was not reachable - and the person
who pointed it to me also could not reach it).  It's also possible that
someone modified the page since mid-April.
