Path: utzoo!censor!geac!torsqnt!news-server.csri.toronto.edu!cs.utexas.edu!swrinde!ucsd!ucbvax!FTP.COM!fks From: fks@FTP.COM (Frances Selkirk) Newsgroups: comp.protocols.tcp-ip.ibmpc Subject: X servers for PCs Message-ID: <9011072120.AA02913@ftp.com> Date: 7 Nov 90 21:20:35 GMT Sender: daemon@ucbvax.BERKELEY.EDU Organization: The Internet Lines: 108 (Updated canned posting) Here is my list of X-servers for PCs. We have information on the first packages because they run over PC/TCP, though, of course, most are also available for other TCP/IP packages. The information in the second section is from a periodic network compilation of information on X, and therefore sketchier. The information I have included is what I have available, and should not be taken as a complete list! There may always be others :) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Graphic Software Systems (GSS) makes an X-server called PC-Xview.
