The xdemo sources were in the MIT V10R4 distribution (which I prefer to
claim I no longer have :-).  The sources were in a programming language
called CLU, which is probably why DEC only handed out a binary.  Many of
the demos have a long and checkered past, having been hacked on at
Lucasfilm and at MIT in the Nu Machine project and maybe at Apollo (I
can't quite recall).  One or two were ripped off from Symbolics, and a
few were "original".  Most of the demos were hand translated from C into
CLU (by me).
