One place you might try is ICS (Integrated Computer Solutions). I just signed up to take a couple of their X classes this month. If you want, I can let you know what I thought of them when I return. The classes I'm taking are: Programming the X Window System, An Intensive Workshop which ms a 3 day class for people already somewhat familiar with X11, and then Widget Writing, a 2 day class. Both classes are being taught at M.I.T. by one of the guys who helped write the Athena widget set.I don't have all the paperwork handy, but I think the first class costs $1400 and the widget writing class is $700. The following classes are supposed to be offered in the fall: Programming the X Window System (for programmers with no X experience), Overview of the X Window System (for programmers, management, marketing personnel -- lecture only), and Programming with the OSF/Motif Toolkit (for programmers with X experience). I haven't taken these classes, so I have no idea whether they're any good or not. If you want more information, call ICS at (617) 547-0510. carol -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Livermore Lab (chapman@lll-crg.llnl.gov or chapman@lll-lcc.llnl.gov) P.O.

Folks who are interested in Xt programming and particularly in Motif should also look for the courses during the OSF/Motif Road Show, of which ICS is doing one track. The Road Show, which is described as "a series of One-Day Seminars for Application Developers, Technical Managers and Marketing Professionals" and which has tracks called "Motif Features and Functionality" and "Application Porting Clinic" will visit New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Dallas, DC, and Detroit; the Boston show is this Monday, timed, I suppose, to coincide with the 1.0 release. Registration and info only: 1-800-321-1990. Darmouth and the University of Lowell occasionally have non-credit seminars on X which might be useful for people needing a general overview. -- David B.
