I am trying to gather information on X-windows implementations that are either available or are being worked on for the Macintosh. Does anyone out there know of any companies that are implementing X-windows running under A/UX or regular Mac OS? I would appreciate any information. Thanks in advance, Marcus Louie Ford Aerospace Corporation marcus@ford-wdl1.ARPA ...sun!wdl1!marcus

It's not out yet even in beta, you can call them for the brochure. (603) 886-9050 (This isn't an ad, I'm quoting from their brochure - we hope to beta test it here when it's ready). - - - - - - -

Isn't running something like X-Windoes on the Mac a little redundant? What applications would there be for it? (Applications meaning uses not programs) -ajw Andy J.

Thanks for all who replied to my question. Here is a summary of the responses I've received. Steve Peters of Apple Computer wrote to me saying that he is implementing XV11R2 for A/UX that is due to be released late this summer. White Pine Software, Inc. (94 Route 101A, P.O. Box 1108, Amherst, NH 03031, 603-886-9050) is developing an X11 implementation running under MacOS with a Decnet communications driver. A beta-version is due out in mid-summer. Also, there is suppose to be a write-up on this in the April issue of Macintosh Today (but I haven't been able to get a copy yet). Finally, someone said that UC Berkeley was working on a X10.4 version for the Macintosh. No other information was given. That's it. Thanks again.
