(To whom it may concern)
xforms seems to have gone stable, and at the same time moved.

The new URL is
http://savannah.nongnu.org/download/xforms/stable.pkg/1.0/xforms-1.0.tar.gz

An updated DETAILS file is attached.

This is not enough, though - the compilation can't see libXpm:
/---- last (failing) command (one long line):
gcc -m32 -o fdesign -g -O4        -L/usr/X11R6/lib   fd_attribs.o 
   fd_control.o    fd_fake.o       fd_file.o       fd_forms.o 
fd_groups.o     fd_help.o       fd_initforms.o          fd_main.o 
fd_names.o      fd_objects.o   fd_pallette.o    fd_printC.o

-lX11 -Xlinker -Bstatic                 -L../lib -lforms 
   -lXpm                                  -Xlinker -Bdynamic 
   -lm
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lXpm
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [fdesign] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/xforms-1.0/fdesign'
make: *** [all] Error 2
\----
I don't know why this fails; /usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so is there (as is 
the library that symlink points to).
A related issue: xforms has no dependency file - but it clearly has 
dependencies... lvu won't tell me, though, from what module 
/usr/X11R6/lib/libXpm.so comes (why?).

cat << EOF
XForms is a GUI toolkit based on Xlib for X Window Systems. It features
a rich set of objects, such as buttons, scrollbars, and menus etc.
integrated into an easy and efficient object/event callback execution
model that allows fast and easy construction of X-applications. In
addition, the library is extensible and new objects can easily be
created and added to the library.
