[comp.sys.hp] X on the HP9000/300

gwu@vlsi.cs.cmu.edu (George Wu) (01/08/87)

     Has anyone completed the port of X that HP did to the HP9000/300, aka
Bobcat? From what I am told, the routines for patterned lines, splines, 
filled polygones, XPixmapGet, XCharBitmap, and the XY pixmap manipulation
aren't completed.

YES!  HP has completed the implementation of X on their series 300.  If
you hve a standard contact with HP, then use that channel to obtain X.
The full release may not yet be available,  despite being completed.
I think there is an HP-ite in charge of university releases;  Is this
where you got the earlier release?

If you have real trouble getting this then feel free to contact me.  I
may redirect you to someone else, but I should have access to the
proper channels inside HP.
