[Gllug] OT: PC X-Server

[Andy Young]

Thanks to everyone that replied to my X-Server query.

I think I'll check out Cygwin which looks pretty good value for money ;) , and even better if I can run it without a "master window" in a soon to be released version.

By the way Dan .. that made perfect sense!

Cheers,

Andy.
