We are soon to begin developing software on a Masscomp mainframe running the UNIX operating system. We have decided to go with X-Windows 11 for our graphics, and I would like to know if there is any software for the Macintosh which will support this graphical interface. Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately I left my copy of Mac Today at >home and cannot give you the full details on it. The company is White *Pine* Software Inc., in Amherst, *New Hampshire*. (White Plains is in New York. There is an Amherst, MA, but there's one in New Hampshire, too.) White Pine already has some terminal emulation and other communications software for the Mac. Their X11 product runs native on the Mac (i.e., it's not an A/UX program) and is supposed to support Multifinder. "Company president Samuel Solon ... does not expect volume sales until late 1988 or early 1989."

At a recent Developers Meeting I got the impression from Apple that they
were working on X.Windows support for A/UX.
