On a quick look current XFree86 builds libxrx but not the xrx app. I don't think XFree86 have taken much interest in xrx. When it came out I found that it only worked on systems which already had X, probably not at all on windows, and it seemed a lot of effort to set up. Without any indication that windows support would be forthcoming, it seemed an unproductive way of writing a web site. My original interest was for known users on windows machines to have access to unix apps - hoping that this could allow a web browser to replace an X server such as Exceed. Without windows support for it, it was clear that Exceed or VNC would be much simpler solutions. -- Dr. Andrew C.
