Hello,
I don't get read this newsgroup regularily (I only read 52 or so
other ones on office time ;-), so please try to mail me a note to
the address in my signature.. If you can't get to me, please post
a note to soc.net-people as this is really really important for me
to find out!
I'd like any pointers as to what the status is (i.e. most current
revision, if any) of X for the IBM compatible world. Specifically:
o does it exist?
o does it have mouse support?
o does it know about tcp/ip and-or nfs?
o what versions should I look for and where?
o what major hardware (i.e. memory) does the implementation
require?
o what is the status of Copyright(s) of the software product.
This is of course assuming that there *is* a version for the PC.
As of about 2 years ago - I was told "yes", and in fact a few days
ago again. But, as to the question of "where" .. that is the
$64000 question.
Any suggestions will be appreciated. I do have the 60 or so
megabytes of X11R2 in a tar format - but have not yet unpacked and
read through the documentation yet. The person who gave me the tar
file did mention that he did *not* see any words about the PC
version. I hope he is wrong...
Thanks very much - and have a nice day!
