Hi everybody,

I have a simple question about GUI based applications (like xeyes) that have
been ported using cygwin.

Is it possible to redirect the application window to another computer with the
standard -display option as I can under unix ? 

And if not, what would I have to do during the porting procedure to enable this
feature?

Many thanx,

 Axel

Assuming it's a linux/unix X application that understand -display, then
yest.

You'd need to have the X development libraries installed.
