- Apple (I think it is Apple), sells an application called MacX.
- I have successfully used it to display xclock on a Mac IIcx.
- The xclock client was actually executing on a Silicon Graphics Personal
- Iris, but I suppose that any X client would do (famous last words????).
-
- I can't vouch for its performance with other, more sophisticated
- applications.
