Yes, Mathematica Version 1.2 is shipping for SGI machines. You can buy
it either from Silicon Graphics or from WRI ((217)-398-0700).

Yes, Mathematica runs under X-windows. I believe X-windows itself is
an extra cost product from SGI, but I could be wrong. In any case your
sales rep will probably be more informed about that than I.
