[comp.windows.x] Obtaining X source. HOW???

mahesh@ndmath.UUCP (Mahesh) (05/16/89)

	How would I go about obtaining sources for X windows?
I know, I can ftp it from any one of a number of locations,
but is it possible to get it on, say, a mag tape?  Or a
cartridge?  I intend to port it to three convex's that we just
purchased. (The convex's run some sort of wierd version of
4.2BSD).

Please reply via e-mail, as I dont access news all that often.

Thanx a 1.0E+06

The Free Software Foundation also distributes X.

The chief differences are that the FSf distribution is:
	- sometimes, a few patches behind.
	- compressed, so it fits on one tape.
	- less expensive.

Call (617)876-3296 or e-mail gnu@prep.ai.mit.edu for details.
