Sanyo/Icon has implemented these three supplements and is certified
compliant with at least the first two.  I know Motorola, DG and Opus
have been actively working on these supplements also.  Perhaps someone
at 88open (e.g. 88opensi!andy) could give us all an update?

I'm not aware of any work to make a X11R4 version of the X Window Supplement.

BTW, the BCS/OCS Networking Supplements versions I have are Release 1.1
dated June 1990.  Call 88open at (408-436-6600) to order the latest versions.
