Some months ago I asked Atari Germany about X/ST/window. They sent me a high glossing paper with some info. In short: - X/ST/window is an X server for Atari ST, TT and ATW. - The whole X Window System runs on Atari TT under ATX and on Atari STW under Helios. - X/ST/window bases on X/ST/multi, "a multitasking operating system which is totally compatible with the TOS of the Atari ST" (literal translation from German). It allows discoupling of the time critical protocol processes from the graphical software. - The ST monitor acts as a window and shows only a part of a virtual screen. The dimensions of this virtual screen is limited by memory only. - Network access is done via TCP/IP. Ah yes, and then they said it would be available at special computer stores by end of June 1990. Hmm, actually they said "90", not "1990". They don't mean 2090, do they? :-) -- Dipl.-Inform. Rainer Klute klute@unido.informatik.uni-dortmund.de Univ.
