Are you not confusing running your XFORMS app on a "unix" platform
and simply displaying and interacting on a.n.other XServer, something
which of course X should do well, given a reliable Xserver?
Does the Reflection server support glx extensions in order to support
OpenGL on your XServer?
I look forward to the "native" port. I would hope that we can have
an API library so that we can develop applications under '95 and
not have to develop under NT and target '95. The problem then comes,
"what flavour of API library do you use/produce?". e.g. here our "public"
service for staff and students on '95 uses the Borland suite, not
Microsoft (coz it's much cheaper to licence!).
Thanks for the new 0.87 version, and I also look forward to
composite/hierarchical widgets/objects!
