I have now had substantial numbers of requests for a mailing list on X window system related issues. I had hoped that people receiving X distributions from MIT would be kind enough to give their electronic mail addresses on the order form, but many did not, and the distribution of X on the 4.3BSD tape will result in many more distributions of X over the next few months that I will have no record of. This message announces the establishment of two lists. If traffic justifies it, these may become candidates for USENET distribution. The first list is intended for general discussion on X, software running under X, and the like. XPERT@ATHENA.MIT.EDU XPERT-REQUEST@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (to be added or deleted from the list) The second list is intended for discussion among people porting X and client code to new displays, machine architectures, and operating systems. It is not intended for "how do I resize a window" sorts of questions, and I expect relatively few people will be interested in this list.
