Re: X-Windows and PCs

There is an x-windows program for the pc that works using a tcpip
network connection. I dont remember its name exactly right off - I'll do
some asking. One may be able to discover it's name by visiting or calling
that scientific software distributing company www.scitechint.com
It is probably called XWIN.

I have a UNIX machine in my office and a Windows-95 PC at home. A number of
UNIX-based programs such as X-View and Mathematica require the X-Windows
environment to run. To get my e-mail when I'm at home, I telnet to our UNIX
system at school. Works fine, but that's text only. What I'd like to know
is whether there is any software that would allow me to run UNIX X-Windows
programs remotely at home from Windows 95 over a modem connetion? Even
better, shareware? Money is an object! If anybody has any experience doing
this, I would very much appreciate hearing from you.

Thanks.
