Beginning in September of 1990, I personally gave sources to several people
for the beta version of VEX.  Unfortunately, it has been pointed out to
me that the version of VEX that is available from mit is the *alpha* version,
which is some five months older.

Today, I replaced the VEX sources with the newer beta version
(which was released in September, '90).  You can get it from
export.lcs.mit.edu (18.30.0.238) in the directory contrib/vex/VEX.tar.Z

My appologies.

Briefly, VEX is a Video Extension to X that I worked
on from June '88 to about September '90.  It provides complete
abstractions within X for:
  - video input (displaying a video stream in a drawable)
  - video output (converting a drawable into a video stream)
  - device control (for devices that produce/consume the video stream)
  - connectivity (how the devices and video inputs/outputs are connected)
