[comp.windows.x] XWindows Primer

romwa@gpu.utcs.toronto.edu (Mark Dornfeld) (08/31/88)

I am system administrator for a number of small Unix (Xenix)
sytems.  Some applications in which I am interested are
available for MAC and MS-DOS, and are now being ported to X.
I would like to keep from buying Macs and more DOS machines
because of the advantages we have with small departmental Unix
boxes.

I need to evaluate the benefits of X on Unix vs. (PC's | Mac).
Is there some good printed information on X available for the
likes of me (a non-hard-core programmer), but technical
enough so that I can make an informed decision on which way to
go with some of our graphics?

I'd rather have it too technical than oversimplified.

Thanks in advance.
