	      OBTAINING RELEASE 5 OF THE X WINDOW SYSTEM

Release 5 of the X Window System, Version 11, will be available to the public
starting September 5 at 9:00am EDT (13:00 GMT).

The software in this release is not in the public domain, but is freely
available.  No license is required and there are no royalties; vendors are
actively encouraged to base products on this software and on the standards
defined by the MIT X Consortium.

Sites that have network file transfer ability can retrieve the release from
the network location nearest them listed further below.  If you are unable
to retrieve the release from the network, or you want to obtain printed
copies of the documentation, the MIT Software Center provides sets of tapes
and documentation as follows:

Core Software Tape

	The "core" X Window System software, supported by the
	MIT X Consortium.  Contains implementations of X Consortium
	standards plus fonts, utility libraries and toolkits, and
	applications.  Sources for all hardcopy documents listed below
	are included on the tape.  Approximately 77Mb on disk.

Contributed Software Tapes

	Contains a large variety of user-contributed software, including
	protocol extensions, toolkits, utilities, applications, fonts,
	and documentation sources.  This software is not supported by
	the X Consortium; it is distributed as a public service.
	This software will not be available on tape until mid-October.
	(A preliminary version is available only on the network.)
