XMing, the free version, hasn't been updated in years & has serious issues with clipboard - tends to crash other apps. I've recently switched to VcXsrv, which is more up-to-date, and open source. I've had much better luck. It's based on xorg & seems more active...Last release was last month. That said, I haven't used either from SimH in recent memory. I do use X heavily from my Linux Boxes. > -----Original Message----- > From: Simh [mailto:simh-boun...@trailing-edge.com] On Behalf Of Robert Thomas > Sent: Wednesday, January 27, 2016 1:55 PM > To: 'Paul Hardy 2'; simh@trailing-edge.com > Subject: EXT :Re: [Simh] 8-bit pseudocolor on modern Windows PC? > > It is part of the OpenVMS distribution at least through VAX and AXP V7.3.
