We have recently installed 3.1G on our 4D machines and are interested
in developing X11-based applications.  Apparently, SGI ships a
development version of X windows which is purchased separately.  Since
X is public domain and has already been ported to many machines, it
seems rather odd that SGI is charging $$$$ for something which is
obtained for free on Sun, DEC and HP workstations.  I am wondering if
anyone else has already ported Xlib, etc, to the 4D's and if so, they
can make their code patches available to other users.


Thanks in advance,
