[Radiance-general] Unix emulator

[jcalixihan at cladding.com]

Thanks Lars!

I was stuck at a step during installation of Cygwin and MinGW and was looking for other options. Guess I'll have to resume the installation and might probably ask the forum again if I can't make it work.

Thanks again,
Jun

Hi Jun,

Exceed is not a Unix emulator, but a X-Server. That means it can be used 
to display GUI-windows, most probably also those by Radiance. However, 
you still need to provide a rudimentary unix environment, unless you run 
the Radiance binary on a remote system and use the Xserver only for the 
Gui (e.g. by tunnelling the X-protocol through a X-session. That works 
fine with Radiance as any X-based program.

Cheers, Lars.
