Does anyone know where I can get XWindows for AT&T's 386/IX (aka Bell UNIX, aka Interactive Systems/IX) Does anyone have a Hercules driver for the aforementioned beast, and does anyone have a MONITERM driver, too????

I saw X being demoed at UniForum in January on a 386 at the Microport booth. My understanding is that the Microport port of UNIX to the 386 and the Interactive 386 UNIX are one and the same. So obviously the port of X to this version of UNIX has already been done, the code exists and is in the can *somewhere*. The hardware they were demoing was only EGA resolution, though -- nothing close to Moniterm resolution. I have no idea whether Microport will sell X as a separate product. I'm not really knowledgeable about X, but my understanding is that X is either public domain or source is available from MIT for mighty cheap; presumably some custom drivers are involved, and those might be proprietary. Try giving Microport a call. -- Jim Rosenberg CIS: 71515,124 decvax!idis! \ WELL: jer allegra! ---- pitt!amanue!jr BIX: jrosenberg seismo!cmcl2!cadre! /

My notes seem to say that the windows package is from Locus development. When I was at the booth, they were running two dos sessions on terminals, one on the screen in a window, flight simulator in another window, and vi in yet another. All at acceptable speed. -- bill davidsen (wedu@ge-crd.arpa) {chinet | philabs | sesimo}!steinmetz!crdos1!davidsen "Stupidity, like virtue, is its own reward" -me
