Server implementations of X Version 10 exist for
Symbolics Releases 6.1 and 7.0.  The 7.0 version
has many bugs fixed that have not been made to
the 6.1 version.  Both versions suffer from fairly
serious semantic incompatibilities, due to the
direct use of Symbolics windows in implementing
X windows.  The 7.0 version also has a somewhat
working "client" end, in the form of a remote
screen flavor that allows many native Symbolics
applications to be displayed on remote X servers
without modification.  All of the code is available
"as is", without support, via anonymous ftp to
milo.lcs.mit.edu, in the directories /pub/X-6.1
and /pub/X-7.0 respectively.  You can send me
bug reports, but I won't guarantee to do anything
about them.

I am also, as time permits (which hasn't been often
lately), working on a "real" implementation of an
X Version 11 server, hopefully in a form that will
run on both Symbolics and TI machines.  Various
parties are thinking about Xlib- and XToolkit-
equivalent interfaces to V11 from Lisp.
