Everything should be clear now:
ssh -Y user@host
idl
tvscl,dist(128)
should bring up the X window at least on a client with installed X11
and access restrictions solved. This is typically the case with Unixes
and MacOSX 10.5.5 and above.
But which X window system is installed on the PC windows machine? You
will need a running X windows system on the PC client! I have some
time ago tried cygwin+X11, which is some sort of unix emulation on
Windows. However, that needs some unix knowledge!
