IXI Limited, the creators of X.desktop 2.0, bundled on the RS6000 as
AIXwindows Desktop are starting an official support/discussion mailing
list. The mailing list is not specific to any particular hardware
platform but covers the entire range of systems that X.desktop runs
on. Below is an extract from the next IXI Newsletter announcing the
formation of this service.
IXI Announces the Commencement of a USENET Mailing List
When you receive this newsletter IXI will have set up a mailing list
for anyone interested in IXI products. The mailing list will have
five seperate sections; a support access point, a general discussion
and announcement forum, discussion forums and support access points
for each of the IXI products, X.desktop, X.deskterm and the OSF/Motif
Development Kit. The mailing list names are:
support }
xdesktop-support } mail address to log a support call
deskterm-support } with IXI, no need to register
motifkit-support }
talk }
xdesktop-talk } mail address to communicate with other
deskterm-talk } users, registration required
motifkit-talk }
xdesktop-ideas }
deskterm-ideas } mail address to suggest future
motifkit-ideas } enhancements, no need to register
In order to receive any of the talk mailing lists you will need to
register your mail address with the appropriate group administrator.
The administrator can be reached by tagging -request to the end of the
group name you are interested in. So, to join the X.desktop talk
mailing list you need to send mail to xdesktop-talk-request@x.co.uk
with a subject and/or message body of:
Add: mylogin@mycompany.co.uk
You will then receive all mail sent by any user to
xdesktop-talk@x.co.uk, and all other users will receive any mail that
you might send.
If you have any difficulties in registering please don't hesitate to
contact me either through my own mail address (mike@x.co.uk) or by
voice on (USA) 0114 422 346 2131 or (Europe) +44 (0)223 462131
