Get one of the available CD-Roms from walnut creeck ... There are plenty of sources included .... There are X11 filemanagers and window based editors .... (xfilemgr, Lucid emacs, emacs ...) : 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. If you have *BSD then you get the necessary developement tools ... compiler, assembler, linker, header files (.h) and libraries. If you got a complete XFree86-2.X binary kit, then you have to install header files and libraries, too. Then you are able to compile existing X11 programs (xmkmf; make depend; make; make install; make install.man) or your own.
