XWin-32 9.0 Available on UM Campus
Xwin-32 is X Windows terminal software that you can run on your Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP/Vista platforms. Doing so will allow you to use your PC desktop to display (serve) the user interface of any X Windows applications you may run or write on any Unix or Linux server. A common use is X terminal emulation--you can use Xwin-32 instead of telnet to connect to a server. For instance, if you use the GUI version of Matlab or SAS on willow.
Ole Miss has a 75-seat site license for the 130.74 network (that is, the olemiss.edu domain). This means that no more that 75 Xwin-32 instances maybe be up and running at any one time. Users from outside the olemiss.edu domain will probably need to obtain Xwin-32 from their own institutions, although a free evaluation copy may be downloaded from the
StarNet web page.
The license string for the new 9.0 version may be accessed by WebId authenticated UM employees and students from the MyOleMiss portal, under the Tools & Resources tab, Software Menu. For support in installing or running XWin-32, see the MCSR XWin-32 web page.
