I am curious ass to wether anyone has ported x-windows to the masscomp 5600
series.  We have several here and we are not particularly pleased with 'wi'.
Also, what does the licensing agreement entail?

P.S. respond to gatech!gt-ginko!ken...thats the masscomp server.

[My understanding is that Masscomp intends to support X as a regular product.
A level 10 protocol version is currently available if you ask the right
people in Westford, but I think the "officially supported release" will only
use level 11 protocols. -- sob]

MASSCOMP has just announced that it will support version 11 X-windows
as a product sometime in the future. Meanwhile, an internal port
of version 10 (not sure to which graphics boxes) will be placed in the
User Library in the very near future - Simon Rosenthal

[Do you think it will be ready by the April MUS meeting? -- sob]
