I'm sorry if it seemed so. I agree that the confusion betweenn DECwindows and X is unfortunate, but it is real. I can't count the number of times in the last month that I've had to tell people "DECwindows IS X". [I did not mean to imply that this was DEC's fault -- I'm really flaming at "the marketplace"...] --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Christian Reimer || Visual Technology (XPI Division) || "Dwn wth vwls!" ctr@xpiinc.uu.net | uunet!xpiinc!ctr || ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
