[I posted this already to comp.unix.sysv386 and then realized
 that I should post to this group as well.]

I called up interactive today in order to find out pricing and availability 
info of an upgrade to the latest version of vp/ix from the 1.1.1 release
that I have.  They told me that the latest release is 1.2.  Is this correct?
I asked if that version would work under X-windows and they said it would.
They couldn't tell me whether or not it would allow me to switch to
different virtual consoles whilst running (under a virtual console).  They
said someone would e-mail me the answer to that question, however.

Now, will 1.2 run correctly under Herr Roell's version of X-windows?  I will
want to upgrade to that as soon as i can scrape the cash together for a
decent monitor and card but don't want to have dump the money (about $57)
i'm about to spend on the upgrade if it will only work with X11R3.

Are there any gotchas of which i should be aware before i send them a
check??

Any hints, advice, and caveats appreciated,

derek
