I got the x11r6 binaries for Windows NT and installed TCP/IP on two NT machines. Now I can telnet to the other machine and type "xclock -display foo2:0.0" and get the output of the clock displayed on foo1 which doesn't have the x11r6 distribution at all. So NT RUNS X!!!. Anything else ? If anyone is interested, I can tell you where to pick up all the pieces to repeat this experiment. Muzaffer
