Does anyone know the precise differences and similarities between: * The rev 2 intrinsics * The rev 3 intrinsics * The HP version of the rev 2 intrinsics on the rev 3 tape Also, I understand that the X Consortium has standardized and blessed the rev 3 intrinsics. Is this true? Finally, on another topic, what are the pros and cons of joining the X Consortium? Thanx in advance. If I get anything worthwhile I'll summarize for the net.

Does anyone know the precise differences and similarities between:
* The rev 2 intrinsics
* The rev 3 intrinsics
* The HP version of the rev 2 intrinsics on the rev 3 tape
The HP version is essentially an R2 intrinsics with many bugs fixed.
The differences between R2 and R3 can mostly be gleaned from the
"Converting Widgets from X11 Release 2 to X11 Release 3" document
in R3 in doc/tutorials/r3widgets.ms, and from lib/Xt/CHANGES.
Also, I understand that the X Consortium has standardized and blessed
the rev 3 intrinsics. Is this true?
Yes.
Finally, on another topic, what are the pros and cons of joining the
X Consortium?
If your organization would like some information on the X Consortium, have
an appropriate (upper-level) person contact me with name, address,
phone number, and email address if any. (Actually, in your case, that
has already happened; Greg Tarbox was sent info a while ago.)peter@polygen.uucp (Peter Ent) (12/08/88)
We at Polygen are attempting to build applications which will eventually run on a variety of hosts and servers, including mixing hosts and servers. Our proposed list of machines includes: sun, apollo, hp, ibm rt, silicon graphics, stellar, DEC (vms) Does anyone know if most of the toolkits on R3 (or R4 someday) are common to all these machines? We haven't received R3 yet and compared it to our copy of DECwindows. I've also heard that DEC may license its XUI toolkit. Anyone know if that's true? --pete ent Polygen Corp. (617) 890-2888
