Hi. I am running X on AU/X. When can I get color for my X appication? Could anybody out there give me some hint? Thanks. Phil

The "sample" X server supplied in the MIT X11/R3 tape (and available for anonymous FTP) will not support color. The X server for sale by Apple does support color and multiple screens (I'm using a MacII with a 19" mono and a 14" color screen right now). The X server to be supplied in the MIT X11/R4 distribution will support color and (I believe!) multiple displays. I am currently running a mix of Apple and MIT software (I've kept their X server and their version of twm (which handles multiple screens nicely, but they screwed up their job control, so it leaves <defunct> process slots laying arround) and run many of the applications from the MIT distribution. -- "Are you lonely, are you lost?"
