Why is it that no version of Mouse-X does exist for any of the four
possible configurations (i.e. Color, Mono, Turbo-Color, Turbo-Mono)
on which Mouse-X is supposed to be able to run (i.e. memory-mapped
displays)?

I have a color station (non-turbo) and have not yet found a version
that runs fine. Isn't there a kind soul to put a fully installable
version of X11R5 and the appropriate X servers on some ftp archive?
Maybe a package, which would be quite NeXT-like?



cheers, Uwe
