I am ready to release for beta testing a protocol translator which has been
under development for about 6 months. Here is a quick overview:
This is not "X10 in a window". It implements the entire X10 protocol
on behalf of X10 clients so that each X10 client looks like an X11
client to other X11 clients, and each X11 client looks like an X10
client to other X10 clients. There are still bugs, but all are very
subtle, and most cannot be noticed in screen output without looking
carefully; a few are fatal. Performance cost is about 22% for xterm
scrolling.
I am looking for a few sites that have sophisticated x10 clients that can
be tested on monochrome and perhaps color. So far, the basic X10 clients
have been tested plus a WYSISYG system and a Tek proprietary terminal
emulator. Mail to me directly.
