I formally apologize for and revoke all comments associated with
my initial post pertaining to the lack of functionality of AmiWin.

The archive I ftpd was corrupted, and did not contain all of the files.
After re-installing, the package worked perfectly with my Cybervision64
in CyberGraphX mode on my system.  I intend to register this product,
as I have with ppp.device, another one of Holger's fine creations.

This is a very nice implementation of X.  I reccomend everyone get it.
