Welcome to the official Xnext distribution! This is the (beta) release of Xnext, an X server for all NEXTSTEP platforms. An X screen that's realised as a window in the common NEXTSTEP UI makes it possible for you to start X11R6 applications on your system (or to display X apps that are running on a remote system). Xnext consists of the following NEXTSTEP packages: Xnext-dist.pkg X11R6 executables and manual pages. Xnext-fonts.pkg X11R6 fonts and bitmap data. Xnext-server-NHS.pkg Xnext server executable for NeXT, Sparc, and HPPA. Xnext-server-I.pkg Xnext server executable for the Intel architecture. Xnext-libs.pkg Xnext development kit. Xnext-man-include.pkg X11R6 manual pages and header files. You need the Xnext-fonts.pkg and the Xnext-server.pkg to success- fully run Xnext. The Xnext-dist.pkg contains additional xapps. NOTE: The server package has been split to provide special files for the Intel architecture. You will need either the NHS- or the I-server package. If you like to compile your own xapps, you need the Xnext-libs.pkg and the Xnext-man-include.pkg which contain the "Xnext development kit". THIS IS A BETA RELEASE when it comes to the server and part of the libraries. So if you discover a bug, please inform the author (see below for eMail/snailmail address). Xnext is shareware -- if you want to use the software, you have to buy it. The registration fee is US$20 (or 30DM, if you like). Please contact me for details or fill out the registration form (it's in the /usr/X11R6 folder: Xnext-Registration.rtf).
