                   IRIX 4.0 Combines Iris Graphics Library

  Silicon Graphics Inc. last week announced Irix 4.0, a new version
  of its symmetrical multiprocessing operating system.

  The new version integrates the X Window System with SGI's Iris
  Graphics Library, providing the first real-time 3-D X Window
  environment.

  Irix 4.0 is now compliant with Posix, X/Opens XPG3 (Volumes 1, 2
  and 3), FIPS 151-1, MIT's X11, Release 4, and Motif 1.1, and is
  consistent with the ACE (Advanced Computing Environment) Initiative's
  API.

  Irix 4.0 will be distributed free on CD ROM in the third quarter,
  or with a $200 media charge on quarter-inch tape.
