discussions of commercial implementations of the X Window System from OS 
vendors and third parties.  Areas for discussion include:

	1) Frequently Asked Questions - including archive location and
	   retrieval, configuration, and email addresses for developer
	   contacts.  Vendor contact information will also be listed.
	2) Announcements of new and upcoming releases, including calls
	   for beta-testers.  Commercial vendors will be invited to
	   post product summaries, with cross-references to comp.newprod
	   or other sources of detailed information.
	3) Discussions of new features to be developed in XFree86, including 
	   support for new display devices, protocol extensions, etc.
	4) General support from the developers of XFree86, and hopefully
	   from commercial vendors.
