[comp.windows.x] SUMMARY Re: xconq 5.4

Thanks to everyone for their reply.  I find that there are a couple
versions out there which are not maintained by the same people.
If we wish upon a star, perhaps they're using RCS and we can merge
the two versions. ;-)

Here is what I got:

  The only 5.4 I had heard of was derived from 5.2 and lacked many
features I had gotten used to in 5.3.  Here at ufl we've been hacking
on 5.3 and I'm thinking of releasing it as 5.3ufl.  Before I do this
I'd like to fix the "Orders" bug.

  If you wan't our source I'd be happy to send it to you.  I'd love to
see if anyone had trouble compiling on another platform (only Suns and
HPs here).

[summarized]
Stan Shebs now works at Apple (shebs@apple.com) - but is no longer
working on xconq.  I found xconq 5.4 at paul.rutgers.edu (128.6.5.60),
in /pub/xconq/xconq5.4.1-19-91.tar.Z

Last time I talked to him, he was looking for someone to keep up with
the sources since he did not have enough time.

I don't know about the availability of 5.4.

There was an article posted regarding the different flavors of xconq and who
would support them (it).  I will volunteer to be the official keeper of the
source.  I will fix bugs when they appear and try to merge different ideas
into 1 source.  If no-one objects, we can consider this a done deal.

I will need a copy of the 5.3 source from Rober Forsman (thoth@reef.cis.ufl.edu)
and the latest 5.4 source from Stan Shebs (shebs@apple.com) .
