New Cygwin preferred, alternative: Starnet

[link|http://www.starnet.com/|X-Win32].

\r\n\r\n

Offers a "rootless" server (Cygwin's working on this), and an (IIRC) 30 day trial. Purchase is used to be relatively inexpensive, it's now $245 single-seat. WRQ Reflection X & Humminbgird Exceed X are ~$320-$370 or so.

What part of "gestalt" don't you understand?\r\n

New Really? Most excellent!
Of course, that just might kill starnet - that's the best feature it has...
Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

Last time I tried it, XWin-32 could not do the RENDER extension, meaning - crappy fonts. So I shitcanned it for good.

There are no good choices for Windows X servers.

No, you seem to have made an odd number of sign errors.
