I think as we have discussed before, taking arwinss, or at least the core parts of it and attempting to make an independent subsystem that runs under Windows has value. I believe there is a worthwhile product based upon your work with arwinss using Wine user32/gdi32/x11drv with the rest of the Windows stack to support remotely displaying Win32 applications over X11 to OS X, Solaris and Linux clients. -- Steven Edwards "There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time has come." - Victor Hugo
