- HP-PHIGS Graphics Tehcniques manual says:
-
- "HP-PHIGS can operate in an X window only if the X server is running on
- the same machine as the HP-PHIGS program. In other words, you cannot run
- an HP-PHIGS program on one machine and send its output through the
- network to another machine's X server."
-
- Does that really mean what I think it does -- is it really impossible
- to run an HP-PHIGS program on an X-terminal? Why?? Is that ever
- going to change? (Please tell me "in 9.0 ...")
