Hi Jimmy,

Since you are obviously an X11 fan (no problems there by the way - the 
fact that it can support OSS is great news), I can't really add anything 
as I've set up XFree86 once, but never really got it working.

There was once a commercial X11 product for OS/2 I think.

Anyway good luck with you endeavors.

Cheers/2

Ed.

runtimes, compilers, and an X11 environment and have compiled a few
programs that work nicely.  The reason I asked is that frankly the X11
stuff is quite old as almost every decent distro has opted for Xorg instead
of Xfree86 years ago and I still have the old Xfree86 stuff which was a
year or more out of date when I installed it, so it's positively ancient
now.  So I'm thinking that although XCDRoast only requires a Posix style
system I'm guessing it's library requirements may be considerably newer
than mine.  It was a lot of work researching and setting up a sweet X11
system w/ OS/2 especially considering that I'm one of those weirdos that
actually likes the standard model workplace.  I didn't do it to get all the
gloss of Enlightenment as a replacement desktop window manager but simply
to open the doors to all that amazing OSS and GPL software.  If I'm going
to go through all that gain to update, I'd like to know

just how far back into archives I'd have to dig to get something
compatible.
