Just as a clarification: There are two ways of getting Starbase output
to an X window. One is to use the above-mentioned sox11 driver, which
translates Starbase calls into X requests. Thus this can work remotely
over the network to any other X11 server. The other way (available
with 6.5) is the X11/Starbase Merge which allows Starbase programs to
coordinate access to the display hardware with the X server. This is
faster and more complete than sox11, but cannot be done over the net.
