[comp.windows.x] Where are the Xview sources?

mooch@scotty (Michael Maciukenas) (08/15/90)

I've bee looking on expo.lcs.mit.edu for the xview sources, but they don't seem
to be there.  We have copies of them, but they weren't ftp'd in binary mode,
so they can't be uncompressed.  The originals don't seem to be on expo anymore,
though they are listed in the 'ls-lR.Z' file.  Can anyone out there from SUN
give me a clue?

Perhaps when a new version of some contributed stuff is being
constructed, instead of just removing the old version while it's being
constructed (which I assume is done so that nobody grabs the old
version) with nothing left behind, the moral equivalent of an "Under
Construction" sign should be left behind, so that we don't have people
asking "what happened to the Mumblefrotz sources?"  (Or was that already
done?  If so, perhaps the "sign" wasn't sufficiently obvious?)
