Is it shipping?  If not, when is it supposed to ship?

What does/will it cost?

Shipping in Q4...is all I know. eXodus from White Pine is shipping now $499.

Does anyone know when MacX will be released?  It was announced on June 12th
by Apple but I read in MacWeek that it wouldn't be available until the
winter.  Is there a public domain version out there that I could use until
MacX arrives?  Any information would be appreciated.

According to the Apple folks at Xhibition, it won't be available to certified
developers for a few months yet, so I assume public release is probably further
off than that.

The only other solution I can suggest is getting the Mac X server from 
White Pine Software (although due to bit rot I can't remember what it's
called at the moment).

I would certainly not hold my breath waiting for a PD Mac X server, though...

	The WhitePine server is called eXodus.  I have seen a d version of MacX
and I have seen eXodus.  Lemme tell you, the Apple product runs at lightspeed
compared to the WhitePine server.

Hello MacX users, 

we have two questions about MacX:

1 - Is there a way to run other local window managers than the default one 
with MacX (e.g. mwm)?

2 - How do you run a remote window manager with MacX?

Thanks in advance.
