Product Description 

Perfect Products' new XPort package turns the Apple Macintosh into an
X Window System Client.  Adding XPort to your X Windows environment
now makes it possible to execute all Macintosh O/S applications (such
as Excel, Hypercard, Microsoft Word, etc.) from any X workstation or X
terminal.  It is compatable with all workstations (IBM, SUN, DEC, HP,
etc.) that support X Windows via TCP/IP.

XPort Features:

    o  The only X Windows System Client available for the native
       Macintosh operating system.
    o  Allows any X server workstation user to execute Macintosh
       applications.
    o  Lets users cut and paste text between X and Macintosh
       applications.
    o  Conforms to all releases of the X Windows System software.
    o  Works with MOTIF, Open Windows, DEC Windows and other common
       window managers.
    o  Supports the Macintosh's local or network printers and disks.
    o  Supports any monochrome display on the Macintosh.
    o  Supports Apple's MacTCP networking software.


To use XPort, you telnet into the Macintosh and logon just like any
other system.  The Macintosh screen appears on your workstation and you
can run it just like any other X client application.  No workstation
software is required (other than telnet and X11 server capabilities).
XPort is available now from:
