I don't > know when HP will ship R4 libs and Motif 1.1. The HP-UX server that ships with 7.03 is an R4 server. There is a version of this server that runs fast on the 98550 graphics card available on hpcvaaz (15.255.72.15) in the XServers directory. This is availabe via anonymous ftp and is supported on all 7.x series 300 and 400s. An as yet unsupported Series 800 server is available in the unsupported directory. Note that these servers all have been based on R4. NOTE: When querried they will respond that they are vendor release 3. This is because we started shipping X11 with 6.2 and so are on our third major release. Only MIT is guaranteed to have a vendor release that is the same as the R# of the release (by definition). Therefore the vendor release number can have no relation to the actual MIT release it coresponds to. Don't be confused by it. R4 libraries compiled for 7.x are available in the MitX11R4 directory. R4, Motif 1.1 libraries and servers are standard with HP-UX 8.0. Also scalable typefacces in X11 are shipped as standard in 8.0. Motif 1.1 libraries can be purchased for 7.0 by ordering product B1177A. Hope this helps!
