Hola.  For all you X types, can someone tell me the difference between X 11,
X 11.2, and X prerelease?  I understand that X 11.2 (following X 11.1 and
X 11.0?) is now available.  But my Masscomp salesman tells me X 11 is _not_
available in official form, only as a prerelease of questionable quality.
Is this true?  Is MIT still holding onto X 11 officially while meanwhile
letting go various versions?  Does Masscomp's version of X (the toolkit is
not available, by the way) correspond officially to X 11.0, X 11.1, or X 11.2?
If anyone can sort this out, I would sure appreciate it.

[I understand that X-11 is REALEASED, not pre-released right now. I don't
know much more details than this. The current release runs on the GA-1000 and
the GA-600, but not the GA-800. If anyone has additional comments, please
forward them. -- sob]

sp-X11 V1.0 corresponds to MIT's R1; this has been released.
sp-X11 V1.1 corresponds to MIT's R2; this will be released VERY shortly.
sp-X11 V1.2 will correspond to MIT's R3 (due from MIT in October).
The toolkit (sp-Xt?) will come out in a separate release; the date has not yet
been decided or announced.
