It is available from MIT and other sources, but is copyright MIT. I don't know of any place you can get binaries, but you can get the source and compile it on your dn10000. I suggest you make a shared global library, to reduce the size and paging requirements of your clients. I can send you instructions on how to do this if you want. From the x11 questions-and-answers file: The MIT Software Center is shipping X11R4 on four 1600bpi half-inch tapes. Call the X Hotline at (617) 258-8330 for prerecorded ordering information and a good product description. Integrated Computer Solutions, Inc., ships X11R4 on half-inch, quarter-inch, and TK50 formats. Call 617-547-0510 for ordering information. The Free Software Foundation (617-876-3296) sells X11R4 on half-inch tapes and on QIC-24 cartridges. Yaser Doleh (doleh@math-cs.kent.EDU; P.O. Box 1301, Kent, OH 44240) is making X11R4 available on HP format tapes, 16 track, and Sun cartridges. [2/90] European sites can obtain a free X11R4 distribution from Jamie Watson, who may be reached at chx400!pan!jw or cernvax!pan!jw. [1/90] IXI Limited (+44 223 462 131) is selling X11R4 source on quarter-inch cartridge formats and on 5.25" and 3.5" floppy, with other formats available on request. [IXI, 2/90] Virtual Technologies (703-430-9247) provides the entire X11R4 compressed source release on a single QIC-24 quarter-inch cartridge and also on 1.2meg or 1.44 meg floppies upon request. [Conor Cahill (cpcahil@virtech.uu.net) 2/90] [Note that some distributions are media-only and do not include docs.] Canadian sites can send email to xhacks@csri.toronto.edu to arrange for the exchange of tapes; the offer is subject to "time availability". [information from Mark Moraes (moraes@csri.toronto.edu), 2/90] UK sites can obtain R4 through the UKUUG Software Distribution Service, from the Department of Computing, Imperial College, London, in several tape formats. You may also obtain the source via Janet (and therefore PSS) using Niftp (Host: uk.ac.ic.doc.src Name: guest Password: your_email_address). Queries should be directed to Lee McLoughlin, 01-589-5111#5037, or to ukuug-soft@uk.ac.ic.doc. Also offered are copies of comp.sources.x logs. X11R4 is ftp-able from expo.lcs.mit.edu; these sites are preferable, though, and are more direct: Machine Internet FTP Location Name Address Directory -------- ------- -------- ------------- (1) West USA gatekeeper.dec.com 16.1.0.2 pub/X11/R4 Central USA mordred.cs.purdue.edu 128.10.2.2 pub/X11/R4 (2) Central USA giza.cis.ohio-state.edu 128.146.8.61 pub/X.V11R4 Southeast USA uunet.uu.net 192.48.96.2 X/R4 (3) Northeast USA crl.dec.com 192.58.206.2 pub/X11/R4 (4) UK Janet src.doc.ic.ac.uk 129.31.81.36 X.V11R4 UK niftp uk.ac.ic.doc.src (5) Australia munnari.oz.au 128.250.1.21 X.V11/R4 The giza.cis.ohio-state.edu site, in particular, is known to have much of the contrib stuff that can be found on expo.
