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.
