Yes, X.10 exists for the Mac II under A/UX. Some guys at Berkeley have do a first cut port of X. Warning: It is really slow and quite a resource hog. You don't want to run it with less that 5mb or RAM. Then again, A/UX would like about that much memory for itself. (Remember when v7 ran happilly in nothing?) I believe there are plans to do a X.11 prot, and to localize the port to the Nac II hardware, i.e. use the toolbox for graphics. I haven't heard yet how this is coming. I expect that OSU will do it if no one else gets around to it in the next few months. Cheers, Mark
