Greetings NetLand!

    I am trying to find 3 X-Windows clients, and was hoping someone
could offer some help.

    Client #1: xps.  There are several sites that have xps.tar.Z.  My
problem is that when I uncompress the file, it doesn't appear to be a
valid tar file (this is on VMS so my version of tar2vms may not be good
- but an eyeball look at the file gives the impression that data is
missing).  Does anyone have this in non-tar format, or know where it
exists in non-tar format, such that I could grab it with anonymous FTP? 

    Client #2: Years ago I saw a demo put on by DEC which contained a
spinning globe.  More recently I saw the exact same globe running on a
VAXELN system.  Does anyone know where I could find a copy of the
spinning globe?? 

    Client #3: At the same demo there was a client called "Greyhound"
running.  This client featured an animated greyhound dog that ran from
server to server, demonstrating the client/server relationship.  Does
anyone know where I could find a copy of this demo??

    I have ftp - will be glad to copy if only I know where to find it! 
A VMS form of these demos would be ideal, but as long as source is
available, I can port it.

                           Thanks in advance,
                               Joe Berry
