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
XoftWare for Mac OS is an X11R5 server, designed to integrate UNIX
accessibility with the Macintosh desktop environment. The X server
adds another dimension to the desktop that complements standard Mac OS capabilities. Macintosh and UNIX applications can be run
simultaneously sharing the same desktop.
ACCELERATED FOR THE POWER MACINTOSH
XoftWare for Mac OS has been fully optimized for native operation on
Power Macintosh systems. The X server is delivered as a FAT binary,
allowing it to run on either 030/040 Macintosh computers or the newer PowerPC-based systems. This provides both Macintosh and Power Macintosh users with the highest performance connectivity solution available today.
