A/UX: MacX Q & A (9/94)

1) Is it possible to have a single copy of MacX that everyone can launch at
the same time?

2) Can I run the motif window manager under MacX?

3) MacX seems to have problems with a very large hosts file. MacX appears
to handle addresses near the top of the hosts file, but doesn't seem to
find addresses near the bottom.

4) When trying to use MacX to talk to an X Windows system on a VAX, does
the VAX have to be running PATHWORKS?

1) No. MacX, like most Toolbox applications, wasn't written to be a
multi-user application.

2) Yes, but only in a rooted window.

3) MacTCP 1.1 has a host file limitation of 7K. (The MacTCP 1.1.1 and later
fixes this limit.)

4) Yes.
