Hello All,

Does/Will MacX support Apple Events under System 7?

My reason for asking this question is because of an idea I had. If MacX did
support apple events then I envisage the following.

An X client could send messages to MacX as encapsulated Apple Events. These
Apple Events would then be forwarded to an appropriate application to do
whatever. The whatever, I would like, is to control multi media devices, eg
full motion video cards, video disks, audio channels ...etc... Thus one would
have a full X workstation with concurrent display server, video server, audio
server ...etc...

Are my thoughts reasonable/feasible?
