[comp.windows.x] X-windows for Macintosh?

marcus@wdl1.UUCP (Marcus Louie) (05/18/88)

I am trying to gather information on X-windows implementations that are 
either available or are being worked on for the Macintosh.  Does anyone
out there know of any companies that are implementing X-windows running
under A/UX or regular Mac OS?  I would appreciate any information.

Thanks in advance,

I would also like to know the above, especially under Mac OS on the
Mac II.

Thanks for all who replied to my question.  Here is a summary of the
responses I've received.

Steve Peters of Apple Computer wrote to me saying that he is implementing
XV11R2 for A/UX that is due to be released late this summer.

White Pine Software, Inc. (94 Route 101A, P.O. Box 1108, Amherst, NH 03031,
603-886-9050) is developing an X11 implementation running under MacOS with
a Decnet communications driver.  A beta-version is due out in mid-summer.
Also, there is suppose to be a write-up on this in the April issue of 
Macintosh Today (but I haven't been able to get a copy yet).

Finally, someone said that UC Berkeley was working on a X10.4 version
for the Macintosh.  No other information was given.

That's it.  Thanks again.
