A little-known but excellent X server for Windows is XDeep/32. It's "freeware" (proprietary, but available as a binary at no cost). Trivial to install and use: X-Deep/32 http://www.pexus.com/ When I'm forced to use a Windows box (for example, by our Citrix VPN when I connect to work from home), I run X apps on my GNU servers and use XDeep/32 to display them on the (Windows) Citrix server. I tunnel X through ssh thus: * Start XDeep; use the localhost (127.0.0.1) network interface--it's the most conservative. Ssh will handle getting the X traffic there. * For the ssh connection, use PuTTY (be sure to enable X tunneling). Start any X application. It should "just work", displaying neatly on the Windows box. * To have managed windows in XDeep, go to Options/Window Modes: Multiple Window Modes and select Multiple MS Window Mode. As with Exceed or any other X server, you won't see anything on the desktop until you actually open an X client application. Cygwin/X is, of course, Free (as in FLOSS). From the website, it sounds a bit bigger than just an X server: Cygwin/X http://x.cygwin.com/ A variant of Cygwin/X that's probably simpler to install is XWinLogon http://www.calcmaster.net/visual-c++/xwinlogon/ Ted ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
