The following is rather typical of some of the enquiries which I have recieved of late. >I've just recently installed X11R2 on our Suns here (six, these days) from the >IXI distribution. I've got loads of documentation (about 3 solid inches of >reduced A4---magnifying glass stuff) but can't find any kind of basic concepts >introduction. Even the introductions seem to assume you used to hack X10. Is this problem just local to the U.K. or does it trouble you all ? I would be really grateful if anybody out there could refer me to some basic papers, texts or articles on starting work in X. Please send title, author, and address to me. Uh, to avoid my being sent 10,000 articles, could you just tell me about stuff produced at your own site. Many thanks, Steve

I'm about to write a Noddy-in-X-land type guide to how to use X11 as a window manager for HLH. Also, when time permits, I hope to be working on my X-Book again with a couple of other people (a graphics lecturer at PNL and a friend who now runs a typesetting firm). This will include a chapter on living with X. Lee -- UKUUCP SUPPORT Lee McLoughlin "What you once thought was only a nightmare is now a reality!"
