  Hello! I am currently writing quite a large application that I want to
support across multiple platforms (Sun, Mac for example).  This is a very
graphics-intensive program, and I am interested in using a common graphic
language.  The X Windowing system is my first choice because I have
experience programming in X on Suns.  Does anyone have any information
on X on the Macintosh?  I am interested in cost (licensing), bugs, how
you develop code on the Mac to run under X on a Mac, etc.  I have heard
of an application called MacX, but have not seen it run. Has anyone had
experience with this application?  I am also open to other options for
a common graphic language, but I will definitely want to stick with the
'C' programming language.

  Any ideas?
  Thanks in advance.
