Hello everyone, I am curious if anyone has used WeirdX, which appears<br>
to be an Xserver implemented in the Java language. Particularly, if<br>
anyone has used it with GrADS? Thanks! ....Brian<br>
</blockquote></div><br>Yes, I have experimented with it and even considered using it for Win32 GrADS. I ended up going with Xming, <br><br> <a href="http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/">http://www.straightrunning.com/XmingNotes/</a><br>
<br>a native WIn32 build based on the <a href="http://x.org">x.org</a> sources; currently Xming is bundled with Win32 GrADS running off display :7. The main reason was that Xming was relocatable (can be run from a USB mem stick), much faster, smaller and did not require the overhead of the JVM. Otherwise, WeirdX seemed to work OK with GrADS.<br>
