1996.0. "MIT X11R4 available." by CRLTRX::jg (Jim Gettys, Cambridge Research Lab) Wed Jan 03 1990 18:58

X11 Release 4 is now available on EASYnet.  There are two sites:
    
            decwrl::/pub/X11/R4
            crl::/pub/X11/R4
    
    Copy the R4notice and README files, and go from there.
    
    	Happy hacking,

1996.1VMS and x11r4?GIDDAY::DRANSFIELDMike Dransfield, Sydney RSSGWed Jan 17 1990 00:5911
    Should ultrix x11r4 applications display on a vms decwindows v2 server?
    
    I have tried this and it doesn't seem to work.
    The message I get is cannot connect to display.
    (Of course I have tried and can get R3 applications working from the
    same machine)
    
    Any clues welcome,
    Thanks,
    Mike

When will we ship X11R4 as a part of DECwindows with VMS? ULTRIX?

1996.5For futures, contact the product managerSTAR::VATNEPeter Vatne, VMS DevelopmentFri Feb 23 1990 14:025
The product manager for VMS DECwindows is Janis Horn (STAR::HORN).
Contact her for all questions aobut VMS DECwindows futures.

What in X11 R4 do you or your customers need?  I'm curious what the
field has heard about R4.
1996.6Shape ..HKOVC::TERENCEFrom Middlesex, UWOMon Feb 26 1990 03:446
    I am interested in the shape-extensions.
    
    Does anybody know how to build a X11R4 server under VMS 5.3 DECwindows
    V2.0?

1996.7FEGPX::SWEENEYPatrick Sweeney in Hong KongMon Feb 26 1990 23:0613
    The VMS DECwindows server is not based on the sources provided by MIT,
    so the effort in porting the "MIT sample server" is substantial.
    
    It's important to mention every so often that the "standard" is the
    protocol description and Xlib bindings, and not the sample
    implementations servers and Xlib client which MIT distributes, although
    customers see no distinction between such offerings from MIT, vendors
    should know of them.
    
    Other people have said this before, but "shapes" are no big deal,
    as R3 windows can have a background pixmap = None.  The real difference
    as I see it is how the server associates events with a window.

    Re. 7:
    	Background none doesn't cut it something under the window tries
    to draw something new (or scrolls...). Shapes are easy to add to a
    server though, as windows are really represented by clip regions
    internally and MIT just made use of this to allow more than one
    rectangle specify the window form.
