Is there someone who knows when the 88open BCS and OCS standards will include X and network interfaces?

How about as of September 1989? :-) At least, that's the date on my copies of the BCS/OCS Networking Supplements, Release 1.0. There is also an OCS X Supplement, but it essentially just points the reader to MIT and X/Open documentation. -- Jerry Callen jcallen@encore.com

Great. Now, who actually implements these parts? Encore? DG?
Tektronix? Someone else? And does anybody know if there is an upgraded
X Window interface that covers X11R4 on the way?

I know that Tektronix and Motorola do, and I'd be surprised if DG doesn't.
"And does anybody know if there is an upgraded X Window
interface that covers X11R4 on the way?"
If it happens, all it will do is change "use X11R3 from MIT" to "use
X11R4 from MIT." How does this differ from what you want?

Sanyo/Icon has implemented these three supplements and is certified compliant with at least the first two. I know Motorola, DG and Opus have been actively working on these supplements also. Perhaps someone at 88open (e.g. 88opensi!andy) could give us all an update? I'm not aware of any work to make a X11R4 version of the X Window Supplement. BTW, the BCS/OCS Networking Supplements versions I have are Release 1.1 dated June 1990. Call 88open at (408-436-6600) to order the latest versions. -- Ron Holt ron@Eyring.COM uunet!lanai!ron Eyring Inc. +1 801-375-2434 x434
