Following up on X.PC distribution, Tymnet has two options for shipment: for the $25 mentioned above, they ship your distribution at the end of the next 6 weeks period. For a surcharge, they FEDEX it out immediately. The source code is in `C', but as the name implies, it is highly oriented to the PC environment. The functionality within the source consists of the X.PC link driver, X.PC network level, and a terminal PAD for both Tymnet and MCI mail. Host PAD logic is not provided -- that's what the Tymnet network is there for. As for X.PC on UNIX, Steve Kim, Tymnet's X.PC manager, revealed to me that Tymnet does not see UNIX as a strategic O.S. platform for X.PC. Robert Heath heath@ncrcae.Columbia.NCR.COM
