[comp.windows.x] X Windows for the PC/XT/AT

kiessig@idi.UUCP (Rick Kiessig) (11/24/87)

To hopefully put a stop to the flood of mail and phone calls,
I'd like to correct an omission from the previous annoucement
of an X server for the PC/XT/AT.  This implementation is
X V10R4, with an upgrade to V11 planned once V11 stabilizes
a little more and the bugs settle out (maybe V11R2).

Since the IDI X server for the PC is X.V10R4, I'd like to make sure that there
is no confusion between it and our product.  Cognition Inc. has been shipping
PC/X, a PC/AT MS-DOS X10 server for over a year (it was originally bundled in
with our MCAE product, but is now offered separately).  A technical blurb
describing it was published on the XPERT mailing list in January 1987, and has
been reprinted here several times since. 

IDI's "PC-X Windows", although annoyingly similar in name, has no relation
whatsoever to Cognition's PC/X.
