Hi folks!

Hats off to the Consortium on X11.4!  I recently tested some software that
was rather slow on X11.3 (even on Sun4's) that ran blindingly fast on X11.4.

The general consensus that I and certain others on one of my projects have
arrived at is that we can't believe the newfound fast performance on our
SPARC's - this almost seems too good to be true!  BTW, I have never used
twm before (orders you know) but I really like this window manager.  I can't
wait to include some new stuff on X11.4 in my next book "X Window Programmer's
Guide" (due out late spring/early summer - probably in time for Xhibition 90)!

Summary:

	Bravo X Consortium, you guys have really produced a fine piece of
	software!

Steve
