Why is MIT (or maybe the X consortium) so concerned that we don't refer to "X windows" (and various other names)? Never before have I seen a manual page with a whole section devoted to the Official Names of the program. What's the idea? The lack of any explanation is not calculated to engender co-operation. -- Richard [Actually, Edinburgh University is similarly peculiar. You mustn't refer to it as Edinburgh University (oh no! I screwed up...) but as The University of Edinburgh. Say, that gives me an idea: suppose I set up a firm called Edinburgh University and start selling a system called X windows, no-one could accuse me of misrepresentation :-)] -- Richard Tobin, JANET: R.Tobin@uk.ac.ed AI Applications Institute, ARPA: R.Tobin%uk.ac.ed@nss.cs.ucl.ac.uk Edinburgh University.
