In their wisdom (don't mind me, I'm just naturally sarcastic), or due to lack of time (to be kind to them), DEC have chosen not to provide the "standard" MIT X clients. You can however get a hold of them from DECUS (order number VS100) or via ftp from Clarkson U. which is a slightly later version. (Their net address eludes me, but send mail to Art Stine at stine@clvms.clarkson.edu -- Art is helping out by providing an ftp site which I cannot do.) Trevor
