[comp.sys.mac.apps] X-server for the MAC

lr@cs.brown.edu (Luigi Rizzo) (02/03/91)

Any information on X servers for the Mac ? Looking on this
newsgroup  I've seen some reference to a product called MacX.
Are there other X servers around, and possibly available (i.e. free)
on the network ?

	Thanks

    I am also interested in any and all X servers/clients for Macs. Any
information or pointers to information would be appreciated.

I know of two X servers for the mac. Apple has just announced macX v 1.1. This
server is part of aux 2.0.1, but the same executable will run under 
system 6.0.4 or higher according to apple. They are selling it for $295 (list)
through the dealers.  I imagine it will be available by site license at most
universities.  I have also heard of an X server for the mac distributed by
White Pine Software somewhere up in New Hampshire, but I don't know any 
details.
