Preferably on CD-ROM) ftp uunet.uu.net or expo.lcs.mit.edu (or possibly other places, like gatekeeper.dec.com--I'm not sure about that) and grab the "core" parts (tapes 1 and 2) of the MIT X11R4 distribution, grab gcc off of apple.com or wuarchive.wustl.edu, and compile it. Of course, this trades paying highway robbery prices for Apple X11R4 for paying highway robbery prices for the 150M of disk you'll need to hold the source and compile it. Don't know of anybody offering X11R4 source on CD-ROM, sure would be nice to have though. (Almost make it worthwhile to buy a CD-ROM...) Note that this will only give you the standalone X11R4 server, and not the version of X that runs under Multifinder or under the Multifinder emulation of A/UX. Whether this absence is important to you depends on how much you like MacOS. :-) -- Richard Todd rmtodd@chinet.chi.il.us or rmtodd@uokmax.ecn.uoknor.edu
