[comp.windows.x] X Window System Protocol V11

venky@CS.BUFFALO.EDU (Ramadoss Venkatesan) (04/14/89)

I need X Window System Protocol, V11 by Bob Scheifler.
Where can I get it? Is it available in computer readable form?
If it is too technical and huge (in size), is there a smaller report
on X Protocol that is relatively easy to follow?

I am doing a case study on X Protocols. I would appreciate your
help in this regard.

Thank you,

venky

Via FTP from sri-nic.arpa, get rfc:rfc1013.txt:

1013  Scheifler, R.W.  X Window System Protocol, version 11: Alpha update 
      April 1987.  1987 June; 101 p. (244905 bytes)

If you are looking for a good description of the protocol then I suggest

X Window System, C library and Protocol Reference by
Robert Scheifler, James Gettys and Ron Newman.

printed by Digital Press. cost $55.


I am aware of some more references but I don't know their exact names.

Gaak!  This is ancient, it should be exterminated.

Then how about updating it so that...

1013  Scheifler, R.W.  X Window System Protocol, version 11: Alpha update 
      April 1987.  1987 June; 101 p. (244905 bytes) (Obsoleted by ????)
