Hi,
The subject says it all. Pencomm is taking orders for coXist and
will ship March 22nd. For educational people, the server is $150, the
digital librarian stuff if $50 and Motif is $100. They take visa and MC
for sure.
Distribution is on 3.5" disks or optical if you are willing to
send them one. The number is 1-800-PENCOM4 . (I think, this is from
memory.)
I have no association with Pencomm, yet there have been lotsa
questions about actual availibility of an X11R4 server and since
Pencom is taking orders for one, I thought it would be of interest.

Functionally, what is actually contained in these products---for example, does the basic server include all the standard X apps (xterm, xeyes, uwm, twm(my pref), etc), the fonts, etc or do these need to be obtained elsewhere? What is the "Digital Librarian Stuff"? X docs? Finally, why would one want Motif? Is there lots of X software that only runs under Motif? Is Motif easier to develop for? -- Barry Merriman UCLA Dept. of Math UCLA Inst. for Fusion and Plasma Research barry@math.ucla.edu (Internet)

Is Motif easier to develop for? For the same reasons that one wants X: It's not better than NextStep, it's not easier than NextStep, but it is what some people consider standard, especially since it looks remotely like a good old PC running Windows.
