	Windows 3.x - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Windows 3.0 was released on May 22, 1990 and included a significantly revamped user interface as well as technical improvements to make better use of the memory management capabilities of Intel's 80286 and 80386 processors.
		Windows 3.1 was designed to have a large degree of backward compatibility with older Windows platforms.
		Windows 3.1 and its 32-bit Disk Access superseded the BIOS code for accessing disks, while 32-bit File Access of Windows for Workgroups 3.11 bypassed the native MS-DOS code for accessing files.

	X Windows Basics
		X Windows X (Windows) is a public domain software package designed at M.I.T. It provides a graphical windowing environment for Sun Workstations (and many other types of computers as well).
		X allows you to divide your display into ``subsections", each of which can be assigned a different task (similar to the result of running Microsoft Windows on a PC, MacFinder on a Mac, or using an Amiga).
		X, and other windowing systems, are used for the convenience of viewing more than one application at a time.

	Windows 3.x help and information
		Released in 1990 Microsoft Windows 3.0 was a revolutionary operating system for the PC as one of the most used GUI operating systems.
		Later Windows 3.1 was released in 1992 by Microsoft and was one of the first major PC GUI operating systems widely used.
		Windows along with other GUI operating systems are one of the many reasons computers have become easier and more widely used.

	X WIndow/Motif Programming
		X window toolkits, such as Motif and Open Look, generally provide two key components: the window manager and the toolkit libraries.
		X is network oriented and applications need not be running on the same system as the one supporting the display.
		Later versions of X have optimised the X server and coupled with the fact that computer power has increased and memory is less expensive, the use of gadgets is not as important as it once used to be.

	Cotse - Connected: An Internet Encyclopedia - X Windows Protocol Overview
		X Windows is the predominate windowing system on UNIX computers, developed by the X Consortium, lead by M.I.T. An X server manages the display on the workstation.
		Most X client applications are linked against Xlib, which allows them to operate on either a local or remote X server, simply by adjusting either an environment variable or a command-line argument.
		A hostile X client could connect to an X server and arrange to capture any screen image, or even to capture keystrokes as a password is being typing in one of the windows.

		X reverses these roles, which, as the locations of the hosts are reversed, is quite appropriate:
		Microsoft is in the process of buying infrastructure to provide this to their customers using proprietary protocols; X has been providing this for over ten years now.
		In the "ancient" past, X was developed at MIT as one of the components of Project Athena.

	The X-Windows Disaster
		X gave programmers a way to display windows and pixels, but it didn't speak to buttons, menus, scroll bars, or any of the other necessary elements of a graphical user interface.
		X is a colletion of myths that have become so widespread and so prolific in the computer industry that many of them are now accepted as "fact," without any thought or reflection.
		At the mere mention of network window systems, certain propeller gheads who confuse technology with economics will start foaming at the mouth about their client/server models and how in the future palmtops will just run the X server and let the other half of the program run on some Cray down the street.

		The X Window System, more simply 'X' or 'X11', is judged worldwide to be one of the most successful open source, collaborative technologies developed to date.
		The inherent independence of the X Window System from operating system and hardware, its network-transparency, and its support for a wide range of popular desktops are responsible for its continuing and growing popularity.
		Many third parties provide technologies for integrating X Window System applications into network or personal computer environments under DOS, Windows, Windows 9x, and Windows NT, while thousands of independent software developers provide X Window System applications.

	MicroImages - MI/X 4.2
		In X Desktop mode a large X window is opened at the size you specify which can be smaller, equal to, or much larger than the resolution supported by your display board (see below for virtual X Desktop operation).
		Since MI/X is simply another Microsoft Windows application, If you want to access your Windows desktop you can iconify this large X window or use any of the other methods provided by Windows.
		TrueType fonts are presented to the X client as iso10646-1 (Unicode), which means that X clients get access to the full range of glyphs in the fonts.

	Russify X Windows
		It is important to run this command on a computer that has your X server (that is X server responsible for displaying things on your terminal) running on it.
		Going into detail, X terminal is a diskless computer whose sole function is to be an X server that you use.
		Since you should say "xset fp+..." only to your X server and since operating system of X terminal is usually invisible to the user, it may be difficult or impossible to add cyrillic fonts to X terminal.

	The X Window's Trap - GNU Project - Free Software Foundation (FSF)
		If you said yes when the X Consortium asked you not to use copyleft, you put the X Consortium in a position to license and restrict its version of your program, along with the code for the core of X. The X Consortium did not carry out this plan.
		The X Consortium and Open Group can no longer exert moral suasion by saying that it is wrong to say no. This will make it easier to decide to copyleft your X-related software.
		When you work on the core of X, on programs such as the X server, Xlib, and Xt, there is a practical reason not to use copyleft.

		Cygwin/X is a port of the X Window System to the Microsoft Windows family of operating systems.

		It is therefore beyond the scope of the Cygwin/X User's Guide to document all of these X Window System components.

		Binary packages are in the process of being built, but the source is available now.
