Does anyone have information comparing both Apple MacX and Apple X11r4 against the standard release. Note to those not familiar with the Apple X product: X Windows as sold for A/UX has two components one, named MacX, that implements X11r3 with Multifinder compatibility. The other simply refered to as X11r4 implements the standard X that one might see on any UNIX machine. -- mas
