   Hi, I recall an experimental journalling/playback tool for X11 (R3 or
   R2 I think) called Xghost. I now am in need of such tools, can can't
   seem to find it in the archives.  Does anyone out there have info on
   xghost, or on any other journaling, playback, and test suite tools for
   X11, public domain or $$$ (sales droids welcome to call)? Please mail
   to me and I'll summarize if I find anything fun.

   Cheers,

A number of people have been asking  about  Xghost  recently,  so  I'm
going  to repost what I posted initially, in February of 1989. This is
gotten from the following ftp site also:


	XGhost is available anonymous ftp from uunet.uu.net [192.48.96.2] as:
	X/contrib.R3/XGHOST.shar.Z


I hope someone has improved  this,  but  don't  know  of  any  efforts
ongoing.  The  X Consortium was scheduled to work on a grander system,
but I don't know any current status.
