[comp.unix.ultrix] 4.2 has no X11R4 server for PX nor PXG!

     I just finished my upgrade to UWS 4.2 on a 5000/200 PX and have a
couple of questions:

  1. When will Ultrix support X11R4?  Those of you without PX or PXG cards
probably think it does.  However, we were very disappointed to find out
that the Xtm and Xtm2d servers are still X11R3.  So now the DECstation we
bought thinking it would display from a Cray still won't...

  2. When is UWS going to DECwindows/Motif?  Word back from DECUS was that
it would show up with VMS soon - before Ultrix?

  3. Does anyone know when the the fabled Ultrix consolidated CD will be
available?  Will one need one each for RISC and VAX Ultrix?

  I know that we could buy the developers kit and get Motif, but I can't
justify spending extra money for something that DEC keep saying 'its coming...'
unless I can get *someone* to say WHEN.  Several hundred dollars might not
seem like a lot to DEC, but it can be when your budget gets sliced and diced...
