RE: success with xwin95

[Suhaib Siddiqi <ssiddiqi at inspirepharm dot com>]

Try test7 which Harold released last night.
if you are using my new startxwin.bat which picks old xwin.exe on NT and the
Harold Xwin.exe renamed to win95.exe on Win9x, then put his new xwin.exe
from Test7 in a tmp directory rename it to xwin95.exe then move to
/us/X11R6/bin.  He fixed the color issues in test7.

Subject: success with xwin95

Dear Suhaib, dear Harold,

congretulations to the recent work on xfree XServer.

I have checked XWin95 and Xwin (with -engine options) on my Windows98
computer.

XWin95 is a success: circuit design software (e.g. xcircuit, Spice3) run
and show their graphics results.
Layout editor Magic complains with "Neither TrueColor 15, 16 nor 24, nor
Pseudocolor 8 found. Cannot initialize DISPLAY 127.0.0.1:0.0."

Any suggestions to that?

Xwin (with -engine options) does not run up to now. The following
outputs were generated:

Comment:
window with white screen, nothing happens, hourglas curser is on,
XWin may be killed only with task manager.
