A multi-threaded version of Xlib (1.1) based on X11R5 patch 12 is now
available for anonymous FTP from:
        DEC on gatekeeper.dec.com (16.1.0.2) in /pub/X11/contrib/mt-xlib-1.1
        MIT on export.lcs.mit.edu (18.24.0.12) in /contrib/mt-xlib-1.1

This version, 1.1, contains many improvements over the 1.0 version,
including the fixes to several race conditions and deadlock bugs.  Also,
a few major performance improvements were put in this version.

The necessary files are:
   3 -rw-r--r--  1 ftp          3046 Jan 21 19:02 README
 112 -rw-r--r--  1 ftp        106235 Jan 21 19:02 mt-xlib-xhib92.ps.Z
1632 -rw-r--r--  1 ftp       1658123 Jan 21 19:03 mt-xlib.tar.Z

And they contain:
README                  - how to unpack and build the library
mt-xlib-xhib92.ps.Z     - the MT Xlib paper presented at Xhibition '92
mt-xlib.tar.Z           - the source code tree

Note:  Another paper was published at the USENIX Winter 1993 Technical
Conference.  It describes, in addition to the technical detail of
this library, the performance improvement and measurement that were
done since the 1.0 release.  The paper is copyrighted by the USENIX
and can be found under the title "Design and Implementation of a
Multi-Threaded Xlib" in the USENIX Winter 1993 Technical Conference
proceedings.

Currently the library supports Pthreads on OSF/1 from DEC and PCR on SunOS.

Xlib@expo.lcs.mit.edu is the best distribution list for general discussion
and development of multi-threaded X library.

A mailing list is set up for discussion and development of this
implementation of multi-threaded Xlib:
