WinaXe Windows X Server 7.6

WinaXe Windows X Server 7.6 is the pre-eminent X Windows environment for the MS Windows 9x/ME/NT4/2K/2K3/XP/Vista platforms. It enables easy access to different operating systems. WinaXe Windows X Server transparently connects different operating systems and their applications together. You need not worry where these applications are physically located on your network. WinaXe brings remote UNIX applications to your PC with each in a separate window. There are no discernible differences when compared to local PC applications which run simultaneously with those from the host / remote system.

WinaXe links to most UNIX hosts including Sun, Digital, Linux, HP-UX, SCO Unix, IBM (AIX) and many others. The strongest feature of this environment is that it is all happening concurrently and is totally interactive. You can copy & paste text and images from one application to another simply by using your mouse and transfer data among heterogenous computer environments with ease. WinaXe takes nothing from your PC, instead it brings another operating world alongside.

WinaXe is a simple but powerful 32-bit software package, which provides a cost effective way to transform your PC into a powerful X Window System workstation. To get started, all you need is the WinaXe package and a standard 32-bit networked PC and MS Windows 9x/ME/NT4/2K/2K3/XP/Vista. WinaXe provides full support for multiple X applications, sophisticated window managers, including TWM, FVWM, Motif, Open Look and desktops like CDE, KDE etc.. You have a consistent graphical user interface for all your applications, and get more productivity with less effort. Learning to work in a multiple-computer environment has never been easier. It is the most economical way to bring the Unix world into your day to day environment.

The X Window System, TCP/IP, NFS, FTP, TFTP and Telnet software are built and provided in the package. All that you need to run remote UNIX and X Applications is included within WinaXe. You operate simultaneously with X11, FTP and Telnet sessions and with your familiar MS Windows applications. That same efficient WinaXe package provides all the network protocols and utilities you need along with support for international keyboards, a wide range of fonts, printing services, etc. In brief - if you have the hardware we have the software. Alternately, you can use your existing protocols and solutions including the current TCP/IP stack and any familiar host based X fonts via WinaXe's X font Server. The keyboard configuration is also easy to alter to your needs.
