There's a lot of X-windows source floating around. As I understand it, X-windows is just a subroutine library to provide a standard interface to different windowing systems. Has anyone ever done an X-windows port for non-UNIX boxes (specifically, the Amiga. I would add other machines to the newsgroup list, but this is the only comp.sys."machine-with-windows" this little node knows about)? -- -- Peter da Silva `-_-' ...!seismo!soma!uhnix1!sugar!peter (I said, NO PHOTOS!)

Yes, a port to the Amiga is underway, and some of it is up and running
already. No, it's not being done at ULowell, but it's being done by
somebody who knows the Amiga very well...
I don't know any details on when/how it will be available, but I wanted
you to know it's being done.

X-window is a window system itself. It is written by the MIT and available through them.
