Description

XOpenWin is a project to make XWindows an alternative user interface for Windows operating systems. It allows Windows apps to be displayed in an X server, locally (using cygwin-XFree86) or remotely.

Actually, at the moment it doesn't yet exist, but we are going to create it.

That's where you come in. Developers especially welcome.

I have not put downloads here as we haven't got that far yet

At the moment we are using win32-x11@sources.redhat.com as the mailing list. Once we get a bit further this will probably change. To subscribe, send a blank email to win32-x11-subscribe@sources.redhat.com. You can also see the archives (note relevant discussion will only be there from 20 September 2002).

A lot of discussion took place on the cygwin-xfree86 mailing list between 2002-08-31 and 2002-09-20, but please don't continue posting there ... use the above list or wait till we have our own :-) ... you can however read the archives.
