"Is there someone who knows when the 88open BCS and OCS standards will

and Wytze van der Raay (wytze@euce.encore.nl) replied with:

"Already available are:

* BCS Networking Supplement Release 1.0, September 1989
* OCS Networking Supplement Release 1.0, September 1989
* OCS X Window System Supplement Release 1.0, September 1989

The X document is a very minimal one, basically saying: X11R3 from MIT,
but the other ones are full-blown specifications. What more do you want?"

Great. Now, who actually implements these parts? Encore? DG?
Tektronix? Someone else? And does anybody know if there is an upgraded
X Window interface that covers X11R4 on the way?
