could somebody please repost the reference for the seminal paper on
Xwindows. i do know it was in transactions on graphics (acm) but that's
all i can recall.
i would like to echo the request that somebody made about running
the Xserver on low end PC's, Atari's etc.. Has this been done?
Can it be done (over a serial line)?
thanks in advance

Acceptable terms include - The X Window System - X - X11 The same sort of thing applies when referring to the server. The folks who designed and implemented X take this sort of thing somewhat seriously, and I for one believe that their views on this subject should be respected. FLAME OFF. -- Philip J.
