From: nike!ll-xn!mit-amt!mit-eddie!frog!jim (Jim Isaak, IEEE P1003 Chair) Date: Fri, 17 Oct 86 20:33:40 EDT For general information, an X3 committee has been formed to deal with standards for display management. This includes windowing controls. It is chaired by John Butler of Microsoft. Datamation reports that they are developing a model based on MS/Windows rather than X.WINDOWS or Sun's NeW(e)s(t) suggestions. It is not clear how this might related to 1003 and/or other standards.

From: ulowell!grinstei%wanginst.UUCP@harvard.HARVARD.EDU Date: Tue, 28 Oct 86 12:58:07 EST Actually the committee is not developing a model based on any window system but is building a model that will support current and future window management system. Sun, DEC/MIT (Project Athena = X), Microsoft, Apollo and many other window supporters/developers/implementors are actively participating on X3H3.6; we would greatly appreciate more help and participation as this is a sizeable task.
