Scott Laman from White Pine Software was one of the speakers at last month's
Boston Area XUG meeting. He presented "eXodus: X Display Server for
the Mac" and described how the Mac-OS-based eXodus product interacts with
the Macintosh environment. The server runs within a normal Mac window and can
be resized and moved like a normal application; the program allows the user
to set preferences through the customary Mac menus. The server itself is
based on the X11R3 sample server from MIT, but does not yet include support for
color. It includes some session-manager capabilities in kicking off applications
on a host across the network. White Pine's target
market includes people who already have Mac or Mac II machines
and some machine capable of running X clients and who need
a relatively low-cost way to access X applications; extra items needed
include the eXodus server, some sort of network card, and a network driver.
White Pine can be reached at 603-886-9050.
