Hello, I have just downloaded the X11R4 standard distribution (all 4 tapes). I was surprised to discover that the Parallax X server and the associated extensions, which were a part of R3, are missing in the R4. There is no mention of Xplx in the CHANGES files or Release notes, etc. either. Where does one get the latest official version of the Xplx server from? Why was it dropped from the standard distribution? I would appreciate any information on the subject. Thanks in advance. Raghu Yadavalli AT&T Bell Labs, Holmdel, New Jersey raghu.yadavalli@att.com

Parallax contributed their code in R3. They haven't yet released (or at least they haven't told me) their R4 proprietary, chargable software, etc, server. So call your parallax representative for pricing :) . I did get to use their beta server and they did fix many of the most obnoxious bugs in the PD contrib server in R3. -- Douglas S.
