Re: ntxlib (was RE: Include X "instance" into source)


Fancois,

Understand that ntxlib is an ugly, incomplete, shoddy hack that only
implements about 5% of the X functions and has few prospects for ever being
able to implement any more X functions than that.  ntxlib is actually just a
seperate packaging of the hack that was included in Cygwin's rxvt to allow it
to run without an X Server.  Don't think that including ntxlib in any random X
application will suddenly cause it to run on Windows without an X Server. 
Instead, expect to waste a lot of time only to find out that ntxtlib is a
pretty fruitless idea.  But, by all means, mess around with it if you really
want to.
