The xdemo sources were in the MIT V10R4 distribution (which I prefer to claim I no longer have :-). The sources were in a programming language called CLU, which is probably why DEC only handed out a binary. Many of the demos have a long and checkered past, having been hacked on at Lucasfilm and at MIT in the Nu Machine project and maybe at Apollo (I can't quite recall). One or two were ripped off from Symbolics, and a few were "original". Most of the demos were hand translated from C into CLU (by me).

Thanks for that bit of trivia. I'm curious about something though, I heard LucasFilm mentioned a couple of times. What did they have to do with xdemo?? -franco
