That doesn't actually matter for compatibility, because we're marching in the other direction: it's Xorg that needs to support all that Xsun once did (and perhaps more), not the opposite. We're in the midst of an Xsun->Xorg transition. We support running old applications on new systems, not the reverse. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <james.d.carlson at sun.com> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677
