*Is XPC server still available on expo somewhere?  If so, I can't locate it.

*If you have a copy of XPC server code (by Michael Parker, et. al.), please
*let me know.  I have been trying to get this for months now, and as a
*last resort I can't help but cluttering this group with this.  Jim?  Mike?

i have what appears to be some of it. it was ported on top of an old version
of our (ftp software's) berkeley socket libraries in turbo C (from borland).
it is *not* complete, and a server (even a buggy one) cannot be built from
what code i have.

i will also note that while there is no copyright on the code, it is not
clear that bellcore *knew* that the code was being released (which may be 
why it is hard to find now.) would anyone from bellcore, in parkers group,
care to comment? anyone know where i can call to talk to someone there?

i *would* be interested in talking to parker (who i was told returned
to school) to see if it was ever finished. there is a copy of a letter 
suggesting the work be given to the X consortium, but no copies of
a reply.
