What do you think? > > simmons@nucst4.neep.wisc.edu ZZZZzzzzz...... This subject has been discussed over and over with pretty much every argument presented, go to the archives to see them. If you don't care about having X11 on your machine don't throw a match in this newsgroup. Currently there are no publicized plans of MIT doing any further work on XNeXT, the X11R3 server within a NextStep window. There are no plans for releasing the sources either. If you are interested in X11R4, McGill has stuff available, however their main hacker, der Mouse, stated he is no longer working on the project. The server worked under Next 1.0, but does not work under 2.0... The McGill sources are clean, and more importantly, available. pasc -- Pascal Chesnais, Research Specialist, Electronic Publishing Group Media Laboratory, E15-348, 20 Ames Street, Cambridge, Ma, 02139 (617) 253-0311 email: lacsap@plethora.media.mit.edu (NeXT)
