- I'm not completely clear what you want to do here. If you want the NeXTs to
- open up windows on the screen of the X-windows machines so that you can run
- pretty NeXTStep interface stuff, you can't. X-windows and NeXTStep are
- incompatible. All you can do is to run things via terminal emulators. You
- can run Mathematica this way however (the command is `math') though
- graphics will probably involve saving the postscript in files and then
- ftping it to the machine where you're working for display. Going the
- other way is a little better as there are various packages which will let
- you run X-windows applications on a NeXT (see the FAQ if you care).
