I am reposting this because I understand that it got garbled by the time
it reached some sites.  Also It seems to have gotten posted in two 
spots.  Please excuse if this is redundant or due to an error I made.

Regarding the X server, HP shipped the following servers as products:

HP-UX 6.2 server - R2 based (As far as we can tell the first major Un*x system
		           vendor to ship an X11 product) - sold as separate
			   product as it came out after 6.2 shipped
HP-UX 6.5 server - R2 based (as far as we can tell the first server to ship
			   as a product that allowed 3D graghics programs
			   to utilize 3D h/w within an X window) - bundled
			   with Series 300 HP-UX
HP-UX 7.0 server - R3 based with many R4 fixes (included the first shipments
			   of Motif by any major vendor) - bundled

HP-UX 7.03 server - R4 based - bundled 

Post 7.03 server available via anonymous ftp on hpcvaaz (15.255.72.15).
		This is the 7.03 server made to run fast on the 98550 
		(1280x1024) graphics card.  This allows this card to run
		as fast as the Series 400 color VRX.  This server is supported
		on 7.0 and 7.03.  Get it if you have this card.

Do not confuse the vendor release number (you get this with some kind of 
query to the server) with the version of the software (R2, R3 etc.)  For
MIT these match because their "vendor release number" *is* the MIT release
number.  But for any other vendor these can have no relation.
