A port of the X11R6 software package
.description
AmiWin is a port of the X11R6 software package by the X consortium.
X11R6 (X-Window-System, sometimes also referred to as "X-Windows")
is a GUI interface standard that is particularly common on Un*x
systems. The feature that most sets it apart from other GUI standards
is that X11 can run across a network, i.e. a GUI-based program can be
run on a machine that is different from the one the user is working on
(where the X server is located).

.restrictions
The evaluation version has a number of restrictions that are not
present in the registered version:
* In the unregistered version the number of clients connected to the
X server at any time is limited to 4 (128 in the registered
version).
* The unregistered version of AmiWin does not support external X
extension modules. The registered version comes with the "Sync"
and "Multibuffering" extensions.
* All display drivers in the evaluation version have a maximum
screen size of 800x600.
* The evaluation version does not contain the true-color display
drivers.
* The evaluation version of the font access library only supports X
bitmap fonts. Scalable outline fonts (Speedo, Type1) and remote
font access are not supported.
* The evaluation version only contains two fonts. Other bitmap fonts
are available from other sources though (e.g. ftp.x.org), and can
be used with the evaluation version of AmiWin. The registered
version comes with a large font collection (17 MB) including
scalable fonts, precompiled for AmiWin for best performance.
* The registered version contains several more clients, including
the virtual window manager "fvwm" and all associated modules.
* The registered version contains 68030-optimized versions of all
display drivers.
* The registered version contains "xaw3d.library", a library that
gives the Athena Widgets set a 3-dimensional look, and
"xpm.library", a library for handling color images.
* The registered version comes with a printable copy of the AmiWin
manual (.dvi and .ps formats).
