Message-ID: <4830001@hpiacla.HP.COM> Date: 11 Dec 87 20:48:32 GMT Organization: Hewlett Packard Lines: 22 X-Windows on the Amiga? At the December Faug meeting, I heard some rumors of X-Windows support showing up in V1.4. There was also some talk about some network support like Decnet. This sounds really exciting to me. I think if the Amiga could be used as a good low cost X-Window server, there could be some tremendous opportunities. I'm also wondering if it would be possible to run X-Windows over the serial port and still have reasonable performance. I know that there are some X-Windows products for some OTHER PC's but I think the Amiga with it's multitasking OS and rich windowing environment could blow them out of the water! I'm really interested to know more about just what level of X-Windows support is planned. Will it be X11? Are there plans for network support other than Decnet? Anyone at CAT care to comment on this? I love the Amiga! Jim G "If I had a dime for every Guru ...."
