The Inter-Client Communication Conventions Manual (ICCCM) has been adopted by
the MIT X Consortium as a standard.  The final document, and the final Xlib
interface changes in support of the ICCCM, are available from expo.lcs.mit.edu
(18.30.0.212) via anonymous ftp and the xstuff mail daemon.

There is one technical change in the final ICCCM from the second Public Review
version:  a selection owner using INCR transfer should no longer replace
targets in a MULTIPLE property with the atom INCR.

There is one technical change in the Xlib interface from the Public Review
version:  XSetWMProperties has class hints as an additional argument.

Code to implement the Xlib interface changes will not be available to the
public from MIT until R4.

Files via anonymous ftp are in pub/ICCCM/:

icccm.tbl.ms		ICCCM source (use tbl and -ms)
icccm.ps		ICCCM in PostScript
xlib.changes		Xlib changes in support of ICCCM
