[an error occurred while processing this directive] X Window System, developed by M.I.T (Massachusetts Institute of Technology), is a portable client-server based windowing system. Virtually every UNIX system ships with a customized X window. X11 is the latest revision of the X window system. Motif and OpenLook (XView) are the two most popular wedget libraries for X Window. Many high level libraries have been developed by commercial companies and academic researchers. Most freely available toolkits and high-level libraries are of superior quality and easy-to-use.
