X has no GUI. It is only a windowing protocol. Motif is probably more along a GUI, and it's a decent one. However, X is very bloated (sorta like Windows), and has design features that the PC user cannot "comment out" (e.g. does network display *really* matter on a single-user machine?) But it's still an improvement over Windows. |> |> Just wondering... |> |> |> |> Edward -- -------------------------------------------------------------- eric_williams@mentorg.com My views!
