Hi
We have a Win32 application that (having been ported from on OpenVMS)
still uses X Windows as its display mechanism. We want to run this
application on Windows 95, and use eXcursion as its X server. Further,
we would like to do this on Windows 95 systems that may not be actively
using a network connection, so may not have IP or another network
protocol active at the time of display. Is there a way to have
eXcursion work locally, without a running network connection?
Thanks!

eXcursion expects to find a network. Unless things have changed very recently there is no truly local transport. Even the so-called "local" transport is going to use the TCP/IP (or DECnet) interface. At one point I was using a PC running NT at home with eXcursion and eXcursion SDK to write X programs on NT. In order to make it all work I put a NIC with a terminated tee in the system. During one of the SDK field tests there was a local-only X server bundled in, but I don't think that ever saw the light of day as a part of the product. #Gary | |||||

Windows NT has a "Local Loopback" adapter that can be used in place of a real NIC. I have heard of, but never actually seen, a local loopback adapter for Windows 95. I don't know where to find it, if it actually exists. /s/ Chuck | |||||
