We therefore see no interest in the work of making "M Windowing API" an international standard. The MDC accepts this comment with the observation that this is the first version of this particular standard. Like many first versions of standards, it fails to address items that escaped our attention prior to commercial implementation of the standard. This standard has been implemented and at least one conforming product is commercially available in the international marketplace at this time. This standard has undergone revision and extension within the MDC and we are confident that subsequent versions of the standard will seem more "finished." The current MDC Draft Standard (M Windowing API, v. 1.2, X11/SC12/TG12/96-1) is available from the MDC Secretariat for review. ___________________ end of SC22 N2821 ________________________________
