I've heard that there's an X-windows package that runs on the Megas. Is this
true? If anyone knows anything about this could they e-mail me with the info.
Thanks in advance.

As far as I know, there is no XWindows. There is a simple program called Unix Windows, which allows you to run several tasks on a remote Unix machine in different GEM windows. Atari has mentioned that they might include X-Windows in the long-promised but unlikely-ever-to-be-seen 68030 machine. Perhaps that's where you heard it. --- * Via ProDoor 3.0R

You can get X Windows with IDRIS, but it runs over a serial link. I guess the IDRIS people aren't listening anymore, as they have posted here about the product before. ------ Greg Lindahl gl8f@virginia.edu I'm not the NRA.

Is it possible to post this "Unix Windows"-software to the net?

I've noticed quite a bit of discussion about X-windows for the ST here lately... I inquired about a few months ago, and I got a reply from someone in Germany, that there IS an X-11 server available for the ST. unfortunately, I can't seem to find the article. As for availability outside of Germany, I don't know. --Andy

Months ago I read that X Windows will be vailable for OS-68000 for Mega ST. Anyone who heard about that ?
randyh@hpsad.HP.COM (Randy Hosler) (08/26/89)
Yes, but isn't that just the ST binaries. I've downloaded that stuff and the docs say that you need the unix-side stuff to make it run. Where can I find this??? Could someone post some pointers to this, like the actual filename and what server might have it. Thanks, Randy

Unix Windows (I think the actual program name is "uw") is quite different from X Windows. I'm not sure where, but it is already posted on the net.

I think you have your window systems mixed up :-) There isn't a Un*x side to the X-Windows program since X-Windows isn't a single program, but a collection of "clients" that are hardware-independent and a graphics "server" that is hardware dependent. "Unix Windows" on the other hand, consists of a Un*x part and a ST part.

> > Would it be possible to post just the Un*x side of the X-Windows program >or is that a big part of the MegaBytes of sources? I have the X-Windows/ST ^^^^^^^^^^^^ This is WRONG! I'm sorry for those who asked about the X-Windows soft- ware (boy do I _wish_ I had that...) but what I have is Un*x Windows. This program (Un*x Windows) requires a program to be run on the Un*x host that it is hooked to, to be able to use all of the unix-window functions. THAT is the Un*x side that I am looking for. Sorry for the confusion folks.... Mike (if we could live with our mistakes, I'd have X-windows to give you...) mbaffoni@skat.usc.edu (but ye olde "r" function is _much_ nicer...)

We recently bought two Optimax X-window's terminals for our Sun system which came with copyrighted binaries. We also have a MEGA 2 hanging off one of the serial ports ( in VT100 mode ). I would be very curious to see how well this connection would work. If you can't ( re: copyrights etc. ) where can I obtain and for how much $? George Reimer
