XSTANDARDS(1)                                       XSTANDARDS(1)


NAME
       X Standards - MIT X Consortium Standards

SYNOPSIS
       The major goal of the MIT X Consortium is to promote coop-
       eration within the computer industry in  the  creation  of
       standard software interfaces at all layers in the X Window
       System environment.  The status of various  standards  and
       the software in the X11R5 distribution is explained below.

NON STANDARDS
       The X11R5 distribution  contains  sample  implementations,
       not  reference implementations.  Although much of the code
       is believed to be correct, the code should be  assumed  to
       be  in error wherever it conflicts with the specification.

       At the public release of X11R5, the only MIT X  Consortium
       standards  are the ones listed above.  No other documents,
       include files, or software in X11R5 carry  special  status
       within the X Consortium.  For example, none of the follow-
       ing are  standards:  internal  interfaces  of  the  sample
       server;  the MIT-SHM extension; the Input Synthesis exten-
       sion; the Athena Widget Set;  the  Xmu  library;  the  Xau
       library;  CLX,  the  Common  Lisp  interface to X; the RGB
       database; the fonts distributed with X11R5;  the  applica-
       tions   distributed   with   X11R5;   the   include  files
       <X11/XWDFile.h>,    <X11/Xfuncproto.h>,    <X11/Xfuncs.h>,
       <X11/Xosdefs.h>,  and  <X11/Xos.h>;  the  bitmap  files in
       <X11/bitmaps>.
