Leonard's message was slightly incorrect.

There are two mailing lists for the discussion of the X window system:

	xpert@athena.mit.edu 
		and 
	xport@athena.mit.edu

Xpert discusses programming under the X window system, while Xport
discusses porting the window system to new hardware; Xpert is far more
active than Xport.

To have yourself added to one, send mail to
	xpert-request@athena.mit.edu
		and 
	xport-request@athena.mit.edu

respectively.  (Please don't mail to the lists - you'll just bug a few
hundred people and get back a polite flame from me saying "you
shouldn't have done that").

Requests for information about the X window system should go to 

	xrequest@athena.mit.edu

rather than one of the mailing list adminstration addresses.  As
Richard said, distributions are available from the Microcomputer
center here for a nominal copying fee.  I believe that they also
handle requests for documentation as well.

Their address is:

Microcomputer Center
MIT room 11-209
77 Mass Ave
Cambridge MA 02139

Phone: (617)253-7686
