[comp.windows.x] looking for a multi display display program

liebman@xrxedds.UUCP (Chris Liebman) (02/23/91)

   I am looking for a program that will allow an application to
display on more than one display.  This is to be used in a teaching
environment.   Ideally the program would impersonate an X server so
that the application would not need to be compiled againts any special
libraries.   I have herd that Brown University has such a program but
I have no idea as to what it is called.   Any pointers would be
appreciated.   Many thanks in advance.

That's XMX, an X Protocol Multiplexor.  It is exactly as you describe it.
