I am having trouble generating some of the documentation included with the X tape. Specifically, I can't seem to build .../doc/Xlib, .../doc/Server and .../doc/Protocol. Where could I get the above documents in (compressed) Postscript form? Thanks, Dieter Rothmeier

All of the documentation you requested is available via anonymous ftp from expo.lcs.mit.edu in the directory pub/R3/hardcopy. William King Minnesota Supercomputer Center bking@uf.msc.umn.edu

This next year Reed College is going to have available to the whole
campus a network of four DEC workstations running X. I am looking for books
at various levels of difficulty. I would like one book to be an overview such
that someone could run a statistics package and understand the interface while
avoiding technical jargon involving library routines, and definitions of
variables inside function calls, though I am prepared to concede and write
this one myself.
What I would *really* like are a few books which could do for X what
_The_C_Programming_Language_ by Kernighan and Ritchie did for C. I already
have one such book:
_X_Window_Applications_Programming_ by Eric F. Johnson and Kevin Reichard.

(It was mentioned in this net about a month ago -- thank you)
This books starts out with honest C code and works its way up.
My overriding goal is to get a room full of intermediate level programmers
to write some useful code. They want to, but need something to get started.
Thanks
and Have A Nice Day :-)

hi I'm a newcommer to X, and have started with extracting documentation from all directories. I very much appreciated the very nice doc produced in post script. What concern me is that a lot of people think they got the best view of documentation, (The always don't use post script). My problem now is that some of the documentation is in-printable for me. Could someone please tell me something about this tools: - psroff - ditroff - pic - dvi2ps If they are public please tell me where I can get them - ole asbjorn fadum (oaf@vingmed.no)
