We got Xconfig version 1.7 with ISC's X11.3 release 1.0.  It
came with the 386/ix version 2.0 (SVR3.2) software.  At least
that was what was stamped on the disks.  I think we got it in
February or March.

Previous to that, we had a version of X11.2 stamped "alpha".
It came with the 386/ix 1.0.6 (SVR3.0) update we received last
September or October.

Please note that my personal opinion is that the alpha release
was not suitable for development.  The 1.0 release is usable
for development if you don't mind having to code workarounds.
Release 1.0 is still not bug free or complete enough to be able
to support a real application being used by unsophisticated users.
