Apollo has had an SR10.2, borrow-mode R4 server for over a year. However as far as I know they've never released it, in fact I don't believe it was even created as an official product. I don't know whether or not someone at Apollo could be talked into releasing it unsupported. >We do have 10.3 (tapes) but none have ever looked at them, since we >have some programs that might have problems in 10.3, so can I just >extract X11R4 from 10.3 and install it somehow. The 10.3 tapes don't have the R4 server. It's a seperate PSK which only runs on 10.3. >Does anyone know if there are any major diffs between mit X11R4 and >Hp/Apollo X11R4 release? (speed,etc...) The Apollo version should be faster since it uses display specific drivers. How much faster probably depends on the type of hardware. -- Alfalfa Software, Inc. | Poste: The EMail for Unix nazgul@alfalfa.com | Send Anything...
