- This is a monthly guide of X servers that can be used on non-UNIX
- networked machines to display X clients running on UNIX machines. I
- use the name UNIX loosely here. I know others can run X.
-
- The sources for this information come from many places: the FAQ for
- comp.windows.x, blurbs and info packets from the vendors, user manuals
- for the products themselves, conversations with sales representatives,
- personal experience, comp.windows.x articles, etc.
-
- Please forward any corrections or updated to the above address.
