I'm porting the X11r3 client-library to VMS VAX (VAX8530) with
CMU TCP/IP. I have implemented a small BSD Unix like tcp/ip 
library.

Most of the XLIB is working, but I have had some mysterious
problems with CMU TCP/IP communicating with our Suns.  But some
of the test and demo-programs already work with this VMS-CMU-X
client and Sun servers (like XCalc, muncher, etc... ).

I still have some problems with reading keyboard events from the
server, but when that is fixed, I'll make this Xlib for VMS
available by Anonymous ftp.

But implementing an full X-server from MIT-sources for VMS workstation 
is another thing :-)
