We here at Sigma are doing a port of our ARRIS software
(architectural CAD) to the DECstation 3100 and X-windows.
We are having problems (to put it mildly) and are getting
almost no help from DEC (local and otherwise).
Anyone out there interested in doing telephone support for $$?
We have ported to several other windowing systems and are
having problems mostly in the area of poor X11 doc and examples.
Thanx

Sorry, I can't offer direct help, but you may want to look at some of the excelent X tutorials. The documents on the X tape are really specifications. These are much more popular with beginners (listed in no particular order): Young, *X Window Systems Programming and Applications With Xt*, Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-972167-3. Jones, *Introduction to the X Window System*, Prentice-Hall, ISBN 0-13-499997-5. O'Reilly and Associates, *The X Window System Series*, 4 volumes, ISBN 0-937175-26-9, 0-937175-27-7, etc. Johnson & Reichard, *X Window Applications Programming*, MIS: Press, ISBN 1-55828-016-2. Also, you should read the "hello, world" paper by Rosenthal that's on the X tape. Ken Lee DEC Western Software Laboratory, Palo Alto, Calif. Internet: klee@decwrl.dec.com uucp: uunet!decwrl!klee

I haven't noticed a response from O'Reilly, so I'll give it a shot -- Ken is
probably counting not Volumes 4/5 on Xt, but Volume 0, on the X Protocol,
which makes four volumes when counted with the 1/2 on Xlib and 3 on Using
X.
