I have IOS version 10.3 and 11.2 for these. Regards, Tim.

Smart man. ;) Some parts of how we're using it now, though (like client-side font rendering) are extremely kludgy. But that's not the fault of X. I'd agree. I didn't know we were discussing the protocol. ;) Well you said "X", which is a protocol, not a piece of software. Yeah, I have a habit of doing that. The executed binary being named X sometimes confuses me. ;) -Dave -- Dave McGuire, AK4HZ New Kensington, PA

X was pretty good even on very slow hardware, though the first VAXstation with its one bit per pixel dumb bitmap display was iffy. But it was far better than its predecessor (VAXwindows? I forgot what it was called -- a VMS-specific windowing system developed at DEC, and dumped after a year in favor of X. paul
