Is XPC server still available on expo somewhere? If so, I can't locate it.
If you have a copy of XPC server code (by Michael Parker, et. al.), please
let me know. I have been trying to get this for months now, and as a
last resort I can't help but cluttering this group with this. Jim? Mike?

The user-contributed part of R3 has some fragments of code and documentation that have been accused of being useful in porting X to MS-DOS. It was based on a little bit of work done two summers ago at Bellcore and was provided in the hope that somebody will try to do a public port of R3. If you'd like to beat up on Mike Parker, his email address is: mbparker@athena.mit.edu Or, if you don't feel like spending that much time, there are a growing number of vendors who would be glad to sell you a DOS server.
