I am pleased to announce that XNeXT, the port of X to the NeXT machine, is now available for anonymous ftp. This is a beta version, but it is pretty stable, so you shouldn't have many problems, if any. The ftp site is ``athena-dist.mit.edu'', IP address 18.71.0.38. The directory pub/XNeXT contains a README file in WriteNow (README.wn) and in ASCII (README.txt) format, and a tar'ed, compress'ed file (XNeXT.tar.Z) which contains the server binary, include files, libraries, fonts, client binaries, and copies of the README files. More information on the port is contained in the README files, and in the Help and Info panels inside the program. If you have any other questions, please forward them to xnext@athena.mit.edu.

I currently have XNeXT for the NeXT machine (R3)
1. I would like to convert fonts from bdf format
to snf for the NeXT machine, does anyone know
where I can find a converter?..
2. Is there an R4 server or plan for an R4 server for
NeXT machines, current and new?
Please respond directly as our News link is still in
its nascent stages.
Thankyou,
Todd Richardson

It still has problems, some of them fairly major (like, no sound at all), but it basically works. If you want the distribution, it can be had by anonymous ftp to 132.206.1.1, in X/XNeXT/distribution.Z. I'm afraid I don't even have time to work on it, never mind handle mailing out copies, so uucp-based people are, I fear, somewhat out of luck unless you know a mail-based ftp program somewhere. (I note you are a uunet client; perhaps they can do someting?) der Mouse old: mcgill-vision!mouse new: mouse@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
