I have a question about the legendary release 2. What will it look like? I mean, will there be one huge release containing everything (my guess on this is yes)? Will there be a set of diffs for R1? If yes, will this be diffs for an R1 with no patches applied, for an R1 with n patches applied, where n=??? I would like to know so that I can prepare for it. Christopher Welty --- Asst.

It will be split into two or more tar files, but yes.
Will there be a set of diffs for R1?

Working with the new version of X (XV11R2), I am *disappointed* in the
response time of window operations. My questions are :
Are window operations sent across the network, even when
the destination machine is the same as the source?
Is there a way to optimize these window operations, either
batching them or not sending them on the network at all?
For example, when using Xtk, video inverting about 30 Command (Button)
Widgets takes about 7 seconds!!!!!

X.V11R2 plus all the currently available updates and almost all of the goodies from the expo archive at MIT are available from doc.ic.ac.uk. To have details mailed to you about how to retrieve these sources please email info-server@doc.ic.ac.uk with an empty subject line and a message body of: request catalogue topic xv11r2 topic xv11r2-updates topic xv11r2-unoff topic xv11r2-andrew request end This will cause a mail message for each topic to be mailed back to you (automatically) which will tell you how to get ahold of the software. If you have problems either getting replies from the info-server or in getting the software itself please mail me (lmjm). Since doc.ic gets real bills for its non-UK mail the info-server service is currently only available inside the UK. However all of the sources can be fetched using ``Blue-book'' niftp over X25 so PSS/IPSS sites should be able to retrieve them. If you are at such a site email me and I'll give you what help I can on connecting to us for file transfer. I'll write for tapes for people as a ***LAST*** resort, I'm a busy man. When I say "busy" I'm not fooling around. Lee -- -- UKUUCP SUPPORT Lee McLoughlin "What you once thought was only a nightmare is now a reality!"
