No, there's no X11 as shipped. XFree86 has been ported, though. As I understand it, there are three APIs: * Quartz - the native MacOS X API * Cocoa - essentially a relabelled Java API * Carbon - I believe this is the MacOS 9 compatibility API If you install XFree86, you get the X11 API as a fourth target, on top of which you can load others like GTK+, QT, Motif, etc. -- John Abreau / Executive Director, Boston Linux & Unix ICQ 28611923 / AIM abreauj / JABBER [EMAIL PROTECTED] / YAHOO abreauj Email [EMAIL PROTECTED] / WWW http://www.abreau.net / PGP-Key-ID 0xD5C7B5D9 PGP-Key-Fingerprint 72 FB 39 4F 3C 3B D6 5B E0 C8 5A 6E F1 2C BE 99
