If the answer to the first question is yes, are any of these implementations in Ada or have an interface to Ada applications? Thanks, Bob Smith smith@prc.unisys.com

Yes, IBM has been including as a part of its TCP/IP for VM and MVS products a version of the C client libraries (Xlib, Xtlib, Athena widgets, and H-P widgets). In addition, IBM ships "sample" code which allows applications using GDDM to display their graphics in an X Window on a compliant X11 X server.

At the current time, only the C interface is shippped as a part of the TCP/IP products. This could, of course, be interfaced to other languages given Andy Pierce
