SUBJ:   MS-DOS X Server V2.0 - SSB Release Availability

We are pleased to announce the availability of final build of Version
2.0 of the PC DECwindows Display Facility for MS-DOS. The display
facility is an implementation of an X Window System, Version 11 server
for MS-DOS based PCs. This software is a a component of PCSA V3.0. The
server supports X client applications compiled and linked under both the
Ultrix and VMS DECwindows V1.0 and V2.0. 
       
The server features a new memory management architecture which solves
the memory limitations inherent in the V1.0 product. Under MS-DOS we are
now able to address up to 16Mb of physical memory instead of the
standard 640Kb. In addition we have integrated a virtual memory
capability into the X server. 

With V2.0 we are supplying versions of the server specifically designed
for 80286-based PCs and another for 80386-based PCs. Each is unique in
its virtual memory management scheme. Our goal is to take full advantage
of each processor's features and capabilities. With the new memory
management schemes in place we are able to display all the DECwindows
core applications and layered applications. 

The installation guide for the kit may be copied from:

plans may not be discussed with anyone outside the company.
