I've got the b18-compiled binaries for X11r6.3 as well as the free
MicroImages MI/X server sitting on my Win95 box. But wouldn't you
know it, I don't know how to get the client apps talking to the server.
I've got Dial Up Networking, and understand I need to set the DISPLAY
variable, but I'm not sure to what. And do I need to create a new DUN
connection to call my own computer? (I only intend to run the server and
apps on my own PC).
A long-winded question with a short answer?
Thanks for your help,
--Tim

set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0

No need to dial-up.

Set DISPLAY equal to your IP, witha :0 on the end.
i.e.
DISPLAY=42.4.2.42:0
in your environment.
Or you can set it to your_machine_name:0.0.
Nothing under Dial Up Networking should need to be changed, wether you use it
locally or across a network.
You might also want to check out the Mix_faq.txt file that should've come
with the server executable.

You really don't need your machine name, literally
set DISPLAY=localhost:0.0
is sufficient.

Thanks, it works. I did read the MI/X FAQ a number of times, but
never guessed my "machine name" correctly. Then I remembered that
emacs displays the machine name in the title bar of the window!

Call me dumb, but I just use :0.0 - I thought specifying a hostname
caused it to try & route the X packets & omitting it makes things
slightly faster. Or have I missed the point again?
cheers,
Rob
