NAME
      X Standards - MIT X Consortium Standards

SYNOPSIS
      The major goal of the MIT X Consortium is to promote cooperation 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.

      The following include file is part of the Multi-Buffering draft standard.

      <X11/extensions/multibuf.h>


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 following are standards:  internal interfaces of the sample server;
      the MIT-SHM extension; the Input Synthesis extension; 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 applications
      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>.
