	  I'm probably confused (read - brain damaged) as usual, but I'm living
	under the impression that Apollo some how offers (or will) X as a
	supported (or unsupported) product. It's been quite a while since I've
	looked at this news group so any kind souls out there that can
	enlightment me on a few questions will have done their good deed for
	the month:

	1)	Does Apollo currently offer X as a supported product? About a
		year ago I got a badly mangled X10 from our local sales office
		and it was definitely unsupported at that time.

	2)	If X is available, which version - 10R4, 11R1, 11Rx? Also what
		revision of the AEGIS ... er, Domain IX is required for it.

	3)	If X isn't currently available, when will it be and again what
		OS revision is needed?

	4)	Again if no X today, can I get a cleaned (or patched) version
		of the MIT distribution from Apollo? In the past, some alien
		and obscene behavior of Apollo's "cpp" has made building X a
		nightmare from the MIT tape.

	5)	The Apollo server on the MIT tape appears to be mono-chrome
		only. Is there a color server available somewhere? I assume
		that the supported X will have a color server, or do I assume
		wrong?

	Thanks to all future respondents.
