two different project, two different aims. Do any commercial X Windows system supplier provide xterm, xdm, xinit and rxvt? Answer is NO. Because, when Microsoft designed Windows they decided not use ptys. The purpose of win32-x11 is to provide X11 compiled with Windows native compilers with no emulation layer dependencies. You do not need xterm to access remote clients Start win32-x11, telnet to a remote machine froma Windows telnet software, set the display to your Windows machine and enjoy. You also do not need xterm to display local clients on win32-x11. Use cmd.exe or command.com after setting DISPLAY.
