Dateline:
CUPERTINO, California-- June 4, 1991
Product Description:
MacX 1.1.7 is the latest version of Apple's X Window System display
server for the Macintosh operating system. It provides X Window
System access and functionality for customers using Apple
Macintosh computers in multivendor environments. MacX 1.1.7 provides
customers an integrated computing environment with simultaneous
access to Macintosh and X applications, as well as the ability to cut
and paste color graphics and text between them.
Significance:
MacX 1.1.7 provides support for System 7, Apple's latest version of
the Macintosh operating system. MacX customers can now take
advantage of System 7 functionality, such as Virtual Memory. This
new capability expands the Macintosh computer's memory through
software so that Macintosh customers can run more and larger
applications. In addition, new MacX 1.1.7 customers will receive 30
days Technical Answerline support from Apple. MacX 1.1.7 is required
for running MacX with System 7.
Availability/Distribution:
MacX 1.1.7 will be available through authorized Apple resellers in
August, 1991.
Pricing/Upgrades:
MacX 1.1.7 is $295. Upgrades are available for current MacX 1.0 and
1.1 customers for $95, a 34 percent price decrease from the previous
upgrade.
For A/UX Customers:
Customers using MacX with A/UX, Apple's version of the UNIX
operating system, do not need to upgrade to MacX 1.1.7. MacX has
been included in A/UX since version 2.0.1 (March 1991). The next
version of A/UX, which will include support for System 7, will
incorporate MacX 1.1.7.
In addition, X11 for A/UX, Apple's complete X development
environment, now replaces X Window System for A/UX, which used to
incorporate MacX. Customers can use this product, which includes
client applications, libraries and tools, for X Window System
development. X11 for A/UX includes the software on both floppy disks
and CD-ROM discs, for $195. Additional manuals are $95. X11 for
A/UX will also be available through authorized Apple resellers in
August, 1991.
