Does that mean the whole 'Interactive Technologies Division' has been
dissolved, or the 'Visual Systems Group VSG 1' therein?

It is now refered to as NWD "NetWork display Division" for this week.

Let me first quote a few passages directly from the press release: "After careful consideration, we've decided to stop the development, marketing and sales of our XD88 family of workstation products," said Robert Lundeen, Tektronix chairman and chief officer. "This action does not in any way affect our commitment to X terminals," Lundeen stated. "The X terminals marketplace is an area where market analysts are projecting strong sales growth. We have a leadership position in X stations, a full line of successful X terminals supporting the X Window System." The terminals business is a key part of Tek's Visual Systems Group, which also includes television and color printer businesses. These are profitable and growing and will be unaffected by the closure of the workstation unit. Tek's television operations include the television test equipment division and the Grass Valley Group subsidiary. -------------------------- So, to summarize: Visual System Group still exists color printer business still exists television business still exists Interactive Technologies Division renamed to 'Network Displays Division" If you have additional questions, please e-mail me directly. I hate to waste network bandwidth on a topic not directly related to graphics. Mike Herbert Tektronix, Inc. Network Displays Division P.O.
