Charley: It's not the same at all. Unlike Windows, X, and unix apps in general, are socketed and therefore rather modular. A useful way to think of this might be to remember the bad old days of nonsocketed telephones, when you needed a guy with pliers and a drill to install an extension telephone upstairs. Of course, there's still a need for that guy at some point today. The difference is that today that guy installs an RJ11 jack, and your phone, therefore, is not hard-wired, but scketed. Big difference. On Thu, 7 Feb 2002, charles crawford wrote: > I found it interesting to hear about putting a text based front > end to an X application. Sounds alot like Windows.
