Subject: [TUHS] Early X (or W?) sighting from 1984
Date: Sat, 25 Feb 2023 07:24:37 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <7w1qmeus0a.fsf@junk.nocrew.org> (raw)
I found this 1984 video about MIT's Project Athena. A few VAXstation
100 are visible running some demos in a windowing system. Nothing
exciting unfortunately, just a few seconds and no details visible.
Since X was started in 1984, it could be a very early version we see
here. I asked Jim Gettys, and he suggested it could also be W since it
was apparently used before X in Project Athena.

I checked the xdemo director in X10R3 (earliest available so far) for a
match against the circle demo, but all samples are written in CLU...
