[comp.windows.x] Scheifler/Gettys paper

    Is there an edition updated to X Version 11

Nope.  Gettys keeps claiming he'll instigate getting a new one written,
but it hasn't happened yet (who has time?).

    or are the differences insignificant as far as an overview is concerned?

At some levels Yes, at some No.

Yes, I keep claiming this, but I'll make the claim in public this time.
I'm moving this month, and have other file system work that will keep
February busy, but I will spend time in March working on a draft (I did an
outline over a year ago, but the X book consumed all writing energy until
a few months ago.  If I get cooperation from the co-authors, I suspect
we'll have a pre-print level draft before summer. No promises though
on when it will be publically available.
