Something along those lines. It allowed you to run *nix apps from a *nix server on your mac, assuming the machines was allowing X connections (X-forwarding). > > What exactly are you trying to accomplish? > > In making a unix that runs inside Mac OS, god knows, oly that you can > run Unix and Mac OS apps simultaneously, how useful could that be ;). > For most of the most common *nix apps that don't require the unix box (editors, etc) you can probably find decent ports done to the mac. (ie emacs). For other apps that you need to have a *nix server to run them, then it gets a bit more complicated. I run MacX on my 7300 @ work (Apple's Enhanced X Window System Software). This allows me to run applications from the *nix servers down the hall on my Mac - so my lazy *ss doesn't have to get up every time I need to check on something... ;) I think Apple still sells the software, I'm not certain though... I haven't gotten around to it but I have a copy of A/UX I'm going to try to toy with. I'd like to see if I can get a nice server set up on a Q700 or Q800. --Raf ------------------------------------------------------------------- Rafael A.
