XoftWare for Mac(TM) OS

X Server Software for Macintosh and Power Macintosh Systems

XoftWare for Mac OS is AGE's enhanced X server software for Mac OS-based systems. Based upon Apple's field-proven MacXª server implementation and AGE's X server technology, XoftWare for Mac OS provides Mac users with the ability to concurrently access and display Macintosh applications and network-based UNIX applications.

MAC OS-TO-UNIX CONNECTIVITY
