X releases from MIT are available on 9-track magtape at 1600bpi in tar format from the MIT Software Distribution Center E32-300 77 Massachusetts Avenue Cambridge, MA 02139 (617) 253-6966 The also have documentation-only hardcopy available. When R3 is available, we will post price and ordering info to this list. Please do *not* pester SDC about R3 until we have stated it is available; they won't know anything until we give them bits. They will not take advance orders. MIT does not distribute in any other format or media (although we'd sure like to distribute at 6250bpi instead; R3 is getting *big*). There are companies out there that for a fee will ship you R2 on other media, and I expect they will do the same for R3; perhaps someone else on the list can identify them. X releases are also available via anonymous ftp from expo.lcs.mit.edu and decwrl.dec.com and several other sites, and via uucp at other sites (sorry, I don't keep a list).
