Here here....

Our group is in a similar bind.  We already have an application based
on X-Ray (X10).  We want to expand it, plus work on some new ones.  What
strategy should we use?

	1 - Use X10 and X-Ray.  When X11 and the new tool kit come out,
	    have fun re-writing code.

	2 - Use Xlib.  It will be more difficult to develop w/o use of a
	    toolkit, but hopefully conversion from X10 to X11 will be
	    mostly changing Xlib function names and re-arranging some
	    parameters.  (Is this a valid assessment?)

Will there be an kind of conversion aid (translator or whatever) for
X10 -> X11 Xlib clients?

Thanks for your help,
