Hi folks! Hats off to the Consortium on X11.4! I recently tested some software that was rather slow on X11.3 (even on Sun4's) that ran blindingly fast on X11.4. The general consensus that I and certain others on one of my projects have arrived at is that we can't believe the newfound fast performance on our SPARC's - this almost seems too good to be true! BTW, I have never used twm before (orders you know) but I really like this window manager. I can't wait to include some new stuff on X11.4 in my next book "X Window Programmer's Guide" (due out late spring/early summer - probably in time for Xhibition 90)! Summary: Bravo X Consortium, you guys have really produced a fine piece of software! Steve
