FYI, a clip from the pskq3_91 release notes.   I'm investigating what we
might be able to release via anonymous ftp.   It depends on product plans
and my own after-hours bandwidth.

     1.9  User Interface Technologies on Domain/OS

     PSK Q3-91 provides support for user interface technologies on HP
     Apollo 9000 Series 400 workstations and the Domain Series 5500 works-
     tations running SR10.3 (only SAU types 7, 8, 9, 11, 12, and 14).

     This software does not provide support for the Desktop Visualization
     System (DVS) with Xdomain.

     The user interface technology support consists of:

        o Window Manager (mwm)

        o Borrow mode server (Xdomain)

        o Key Mappings

        o Scalable typefaces

        o Font Administration

        o Shared X11 R4 libraries

        o Shared Motif 1.1 libraries

     Since PSK Q2-91 we have added support for X11R4/Motif1.1 shared
     libraries, server/driver support for the Model 425e workstation,
     server/driver support for the Model 425s/t GRX and CRX color displays,
     keysyms to match the Apollo keyboard with Motif virtual keys, a shared
     mwm window manager, and more fonts.

     With PSK Q3-91 installed, the X User Interface Environment on
     Domain/OS will have the following product structure:

     Retained from the SR10.3 base software release:

        o R2/R3 build environment including header files, archived
          libraries, and shared libraries

        o R3 X clients

        o R2/R3 share mode Xapollo server

     Updated by PSK Q3-91:

        o Motif 1.1 Window Manager (mwm)

        o R4 Borrow mode server

        o Key mappings

        o Scalable typefaces

        o Font Administration

        o Additional server fonts

        o Shared R4 libraries

        o Shared Motif 1.1 libraries

     Currently available as a layered product is the "User Environment
     Development Kit Version 1.1", Order No 019386-A00.  If ordered and
     installed in association with PSK Q3-91, it will provide:

        o X11 Release 4 archived libraries (Xlib, Xt Intrinsics, and asso-
          ciated include files)

        o OSF/Motif 1.1 archived libraries (Xm, Xrm, UIL, and associated
          include files)

        o Man pages

     NOTE:  As of May 2, 1991, the X/Motif development environment will be
            shipped as a layered product. It will no longer be included as
            part of the standard base software releases as it last was in
            SR10.3.

     To be provided in future releases:

        o Borrow mode server/driver support for the DN4500/DN5500 Desktop
          Visualization System (DVS) with Xdomain.

        o R4 clients

        o HP's Visual User Environment 2.0 (HP VUE)

        o Rollup of all other X/Motif components with the exception of the
          X/Motif development environment which will remain as a layered
          product (it will be rolled independently as needed).

     Though the user interface components can be executed from AEGIS,
     SYS5.3, and BSD4.3, you must have the BSD4.3 environment installed.
