This (huge) archive contains the X-windows libraries and most clients built for the BeOS PR release. IT DOES NOT INCLUDE AN X SERVER - sorry. I tried to integrate the X-server patches now available in beta at ftp.ninemoons.com, but had compile-time problems, maybe you will have more luck. The X-windows sources may be obtained from ftp.x.org, I used X11R6.3 and applied fix-01 and fix-02 patches, plus the patches from ftp.ninemoons.com (courtesy of Achim Blumensath - blume@corona.oche.de). I am making this release now to generate momentum. Using these libraries it should be possible to build a large fraction of X windows applications and test them using other X systems for the display. Once BeX arrives (or the free XFree86 server port - whichever is sooner), BeOS will suddenly gain access to a huge set of apps of all types. This release is intended for developers who wish to try and build their favorite X application on BeOS - it is not ready for casual use. Until BeX arrives you will need to set your DISPLAY variable to point to another X-windows screen (ie export DISPLAY=myunixbox:0).
