          I was under the impression that TI implementation of X
          doesn't work on mXs, so there isn't any point in even
          trying to load CLIO.  What's more, given the fact that
          TI is getting out of the LispM business I wouldn't
          expect ever o be able to do X on an xM.
       
          Hoping I'm wrong,
       
       This is kind of a moot point since Apple has come out with their own MacX X
       server product.  The MicroExplorer (using standard CLX) can display it's X
       windows on any X server on the network, including the one running on its
       Macintosh.  This is probably a much higher performance option when compared
       to a Lisp-based server that needs to go through the Mac processor.

I have to agree with this. CLUE is doing fine on my MicroExplorer and there is
no reason why CLIO shouldn't. We use SUN-based X servers for display but would
like to use MacX if TI manages to allow other Mac-based IP/TCP software to
co-exist with their own.
