The X Consortium develops standards and technology that bring vendors, developers
and users together. Our most notable success to date - the X Window System(TM)
is evolving into Broadway , a groundbreaking initiative for creating
and accessing interactive applications in the World Wide Web. Any application
linked to the Web using Broadway can be located, accessed, and executed
using the same tools used for static HTML documents today - web browsers.
Broadway, to be released this fall, is an Industry Open Standard(TM)
developed
by the X Consortium and supported by over 60 of the world's most influential
computing technology suppliers and users.<BR>

<strong>The XFree86 Project, Inc </strong> is a non-profit
organisation that produces <strong> XFree86</strong>, the X Window
server for PC based UNIX(R) and UNIX-like systems. <p>
<h2>Please Help Support Our Work!</h2>
<p> If you obtain XFree86 software in its original or a derived form,
from an entity other than <strong>The XFree86 Project, Inc.</strong>
(or one of our Internet mirror sites), please consider using vendors
which support our work in the form of donations. You can find a
complete list of those vendors on our <a href="sponsors.html">
sponsors</a> page. In particular, some CD-ROM vendors provide
financial support to our project, whereas others don't or will
only do so under unacceptable constraints.
</p>
<p> In addition, please consider <a href="donations.html">donating</a>
if you find our software a useful component of your computing
environment. Without this financial support, our continued
progress will be hindered.
