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?

Speaking of X11R5 servers..is one available for "MouseX" that
runs on non-turbo color stations ?  The X11R5 color turbo version  
mentioned in the original post didn't work on my non-turbo color 
machine.

The R4 color server that is available on the archive sites has an annoying  
habit of drawing the vertical borders of windows past the bottom of the  
window so that you end up with unwanted vertical lines all over the place.

Any help is appreciated !
