Dick -

Surprise: MacX 1.5 is based on Xoftware, which is ACE's name for
their own (pruportedly somehow enhaned) version of the product
they developed for Apple so the latter would have a PowerPC-accelerated,
Open Transport (as well as MacTCP)-compatible X server product.

I've ordered Apple's MacX, but in case it doesn't work out, may I ask
the exact name of Xoftware's product? (I'd be surprised if it was also
called 'MacX')

Thanks,
