A404: X Window programming allows you to write computer-independent graphics interfaces. You can use some DESQview API programming in X Window programming, but Quarterdeck has ported only part of the API to protected-mode X programming. Quarterdeck makes X Window Motif Toolkits for the following 32 bit compilers; Metaware, Watcom, and DJGPP. These toolkits replace both the DESQview/X X11 Toolkit and the Quarterdeck OSF/Motif Development Toolkit. DJGPP, an MSDOS 386 port of the GNU C compiler is available on the Internet. Quarterdeck released a DJGPP-compatible X library without documentation for free with GNU C. The library contains the X11 portion of what they distribute in their commercial toolkits, but without the Motif libraries. The following files can be downloaded for FTP from SimTel (See Q203). readme.dvx DVX X11R5 toolkit readme file, readme first! qdtkt200.zip DVX X11R5 toolkit clients demos and doc files qdlib200.
