It has been released to manufacturing, although I don't know when customers
will actually receive tapes.

This isn't quite true.  Our X10 implementation (like our X11) only uses
8 bits of the "image planes".  Its does not (nor will our initial X11
server) allow full 24-bit windows.

This is true.  Our X11 will require HP-UX 6.2.
release I charmed my salesman out of could not be run.  I don't see why HP
should mess their X up now, so expect a very good implementation.  Now if I
can figure out how to make my background color stop being a random color...
