I've been told by two independent sources at Sun that Sun has already given the X-windows "SunView" toolkit to MIT. Would someone at MIT care to confirm or deny this, and if so, hazard a guess as to when it might become available? Many thanks in advance. Mike.

The MIT X Consortium staff has not received any part of XView.

I guess you lost the battle when DECwindows was introduced... ********************************************************************* Tony Burzio * Anybody need a massbus adapter?
