[Cs-club] Free Java-based rootless X-Server

[Rene Horn <hornr18@vaxa.cis.uwosh.edu>]

I wanted everyone to know that there is a very good rootless-capable (i.e.
you don't need a window manager) X server written in Java (i.e. you can
run this in Windows as long as it has Java installed.)

Please note that the browser applet does not work very well, especially on
the lab machines.  Just open up a console and run it from there.

NB: read the INSTALL file for instructions on how to install and use it.

It's not as fast as X-Win32 or anything like that, and probably not nearly
as featureful, but it's pretty good.  Most applications that don't depend
on some obscure feature of X will run just fine, albeit a little
sluggishly.

If you have any questions, feel free to email the list or myself.
