Lately, most of their products have been knee-jerk reactions to other products, i.e. DOS 5.0 vs DR DOS 5.0. P.S. Nobody in the X world will take you seriously if you call it "X Windows".

Who cares what a great concept it is if they never release it? It's been hyped forever but all they have to offer is a booklet. They should quit advertising it if they don't have it. I don't need promises, I need the product. John Ham

The correct name for the system is "X Window". Actually, the *official* name is "The X Window System". As it says on the X11R3 release notes (I think): "It's a window system called X, not a system called X Windows" - I may have paraphrased it slightly. _____________________________________________________________________________ | Scott Telford, Dept of Computer Science, scott@cs.hw.ac.uk | | Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh, UK. scott%hwcs@ukc.uucp | |_____ "Expect the unexpected."
