The recent postings from Dimitri at Bell Tech have talked about
all sorts of releases and media kits, etc... I would like to ask:
What number do I call to order X (10.4 or 11) for System V (Microport
or Bell Tech) that is ported to run on a Hercules or EGA display?
How much will it actually cost (including floppies, but perhaps
w/o documentation, as it is available via anonymous FTP)?dar@belltec.UUCP (Dimitri Rotow) (07/19/88)

We've just pitched it into the current Blit release, so you get floppies, and documentation for $95. What you're getting is our current X Window 10.4 package for our hires 82786 Blit card (10 floppies) plus an eleventh floppy with the Hercules driver on it. You also get a bulky photocopy of reams of X documentation. The software includes the X Ray toolkit, X toolkit from DEC, X Menu, the "best of" images collection from Bell Tech (most of which are too large to display on the Herc), Xtrek (the X startrek networking game), Xchess and Gnuchess with sources, the mac to X bitmap converter, the HP Scanjet TIFF to X bitmap converter, a zillion fonts, and much else. Until we get a technical support person devoted to the Herc, the Herc version will be unsupported. Give your sales rep about two weeks to deliver since the Herc support got put into the release only last week in response to the truckload of USENET messages that poured in. - Dimitri Rotow
