Will the 6.5 HP-UX release contain X11R2 or X11R3? Does anyone know?
On another note, since HP is doing the central part of the Motif
interface, has anyone out there thought about slapping a visually
oriented screen designer (ala MS Windows Dialog Box Editor) onto
the HP Widget set? It's rapidly becoming rather tedious typing all
this widget innards stuff. Will the DEC User Interface Language contain
a screen designer, or just an extension of the text-oriented resource
manager for X? 
				Comments?

HP-UX 6.5 will be supplied with X11R2.  Most of the R3 bug fixes have
been incorporated (plus a few post-R3), but the R3 font naming and 
toolkit are not.  It will support local Starbase programs running
full-performance within an X window.

The latest information I have is that it's X.11 r2 with the bug fixes
planned for r3.  (The intrinsics are r2.)
