Now that xlib6g and xlib6g-dev have been released (thanks Mark), the answer should be yes, but I haven't tried it yet. Note that you need to be running unstable, and you have to complile all your code with -D_REENTRANT. There's information about X and threads in the book "Programmers Supplement for Release 6", another one of those "X" books. -- Rob -- TO UNSUBSCRIBE FROM THIS MAILING LIST: e-mail the word "unsubscribe" to [EMAIL PROTECTED] .
