Author X application running on Win2000

hi,


I have an application (Xess) built to run under Exceed,
is there any chance to have it to run under a different
Windows Xserver such as XCygwin ?
I mean without recompiling it, I have no sources, just
an .exe file that once launched complaints for a missing
Xlib.dll, which is not there in my XCygwin installation.


Thanks


Maurizio

The problem you have is not the the app is compiled to "run under
eXceed", but rather that it is compiled to use eXceed client DLLs
which you do not have.

Without that Xlib.dll, your app will never run.
Whoever gave you the exe may also be able to give you the DLL
(I don't know whether Xlib.dll is re-distributable).

BTW, this has absolutely nothing to do with UNIX.

Cheers,
