A couple of requests for summaries, so here goes...

Just spent some time on the horn with ESIX.  Next rev is sys V 4.0 and
X11R4 due in February.  This version will support VP/ix.  Current version
does not support VP/ix and the problem is in the kernal.  X11R3 from
ESIX will most likely not be fixed to support VP/ix.  Its wait or nothing.
Also sys V 3.2 rev D will not support X11R4.  You will have to migrate
to sys V 4.0 to get X11R4.

Also, I have been told that interactive unix runs X and VP/ix with no
conflict.

Steve.
