French) writes: I remember a long time ago there was a B/W X server released for the Amiga as a product. Is there an X11 server (B/W or color) currently available in the public domain? I have a friend who would like to write one as an exercise and make it PD, but doesn't want to duplicate the effort if someone has already done it (I don't see one on the Fish disks up through #440). No, not ported to AmigaDOS yet. The X libraries are ported though, and your friend can find people who are likewise interested (but without the time available, it seems) on the mailing list amiga-x11@lists.funet.fi, currently around 140 subscribers. The list is also meant for general discussions on X using the Amiga. You can subscribe to the mailing list in a two step procedure: 1) send a mail message to mailserv@lists.funet.fi containing a message body of: HELP LIST That will get you an automated reply with full instructions and a list of available mailing lists. Look for the subscribe command in the HELP reply, and amiga-x11 in the LIST reply. 2) follow the instructions received. Rob -- Leonard
