(I thought this was still MIT's window system.) Seems reasonable most vendors will support their own testing, and SUN certainly seems to be doing so, judging by their comments. The part I find amusing is that empty references are being considered a "portability problem" rather than an error in the first place? In any case, having DEC buy a SUN would lead to asking them to buy one of each of 90 or so other machines -- donations to MIT would be great if only we could support all that hardware....
