Project Athena ( was Re: Non Destructive Version of rm)

[Anthony "Tkil" Foiani]

Just to add a bit of ammo to the current flame war.  Since we seem to
be in an argument of Compute Servers + X Window Terminals vs. File
Servers + Workstations, and at the moment Purdue vs. Project Athena, I
thought I'd comment via the following quote from the man page for X(1)

 "The X Window System is a network transparent window system developed
  at MIT..."

And from _Bridging The X Information Gap_, a UNIXToday! supplement
from March 1991:

 "In May 1984 Athena got its first stable VS100s, and throught that
  summer Scheifler did the initial work on the X protocol..." (p. 3)

Makes me wonder.

Cheers,
Tony
