Dear UNIX and VAX Wizards: I am interested in finding out more about X-WINDOWS and where some documentation of X-WINDOWS resides (mainly, which systems have information I can FTP over). If any X-WINDOWS software packages exist out there on the network, I'd be interested in knowing about them, also. I know MIT had a lot to do with X-WINDOWS. I've been asked to find out about X-WINDOW systems, but it seems that just about every computer magazine I pick up talks about them as if everyone knows what they really are and what they can do. I could use some enlightenment. I'd like to know more. The systems we use are IBM-compatible PC's (MS-DOS), VAX computers under 4.3BSD UNIX and under VMS, and CDC Cyber computers. I'd be interested in knowing over what range of computers X-WINDOWS software exists. Thank you. Jon Eichelberger eichelbe@nadc.arpa

In regards to your general posting stating X-WINDOWS, I too, would like to know more. I'm an undergrad student and have attended various seminairs and whathaveyou and like you, the speakers assumed that most or all of the audiences knew what they were discussing. I learn quickly, so if it's not too inconvenient, I would like to know any relavant info you might get. Sincerely, Robert S.
