[comp.sys.next] Developing on a NeXT

adkins@cis.ohio-state.edu (Brian Adkins) (05/03/91)

I am looking for a system on which I can develop X-windows software and the
NeXT with a NeXTdimension board caught my eye.  I have the following questions:

What flavors of X11R4 are available for the NeXT and what is their quality?

How do the C and C++ compilers that come with the NeXT compare to the ones
available on other systems (like the ones listed below) ?

Finally, how does the NeXT compare to "comparable" models from Silicon Graphics
or Sun?  ie. SGI 4D/20TG or 4D/25TG "Personal Iris" or Sun Sparc

Please email any information because comp.sys.next has too much volume for
me to read through.  If I receive anything interesting, I'll post it.

thanks
