The demo as distributed works, I have it working.
It's a ZIP file containing a self-extracting ZIP file (!). First unpack the
outer ZIP however you like (the -d option will have no effect here).
Then unpack the self-extracter something like this:
c:
mkdir xwin
cd xwin
xwindemo -d
It will unpack a whole wad of files, preserving the directory structure
required. Now copy MXWIN.INI to your Windows directory and edit it to make
sure that the paths point to wherever you actually installed it (it assumes
c:\xwin, so igf you installed it there, no edits are required).
Go into Windows again, create an icon for it, and try it out. The only problem
I've had is that it interferes with PC Eudora (well, lets just say PC Eudora
won't fetch mail while Xwin is active).
