Keywords: 

      I installed on my machine whatever was on the CD ROM related to X386
It works roughly now. But I never was doing anything with X Windiows. (
 (I have MSDOS/Windows programming background)
So I have
few very naive questions.
   1) What good applications are available for X (prefer free :)) - I mean
something like File Manager, Editor (sorry, prefer Menu driven), C++ IDE,
Communication Packages, Tetris, etc.. 
   2) Do I have everything nesessary to write my own app for X?
Sorry, I really a little bit confused about all different layers of X.
   3) Could anybody recommend me a good book covering X architecture and
development?
     Thanks in advance!
