Cub'x Systemes announces the availability of Cub'X-Window version 4.0, the FASTEST X11R5 X Window System for NEXTSTEP computers. With Cub'X-Window, you can run X applications locally on your NEXTSTEP computer, or display X applications running on other X Window workstations of your network. You can also develop or port X applications on your NEXTSTEP computer with Cub'X-Window Development Tools module. Cub'X-Window supports Tab Window Manager (twm), O.S.F. Motif 1.2 is available. "I believe a major factor to NEXTSTEP success is the user ability to efficiently access his legacy applications. NEXTSTEP advantages are so manifest, using NEXTSTEP is adopting it. Nevertheless, there is a transitory time during which applications based on the previous system are still needed. This period must be untroublesome for a successful move to NEXTSTEP. " said Gerard Laurent, Cub'x Systemes General Manager. "Experience shows that many X Window users turning to NEXTSTEP are extremely disappointed by the low speed level they often get with X client/server solutions on NEXTSTEP computers. This is why we developed Cub'X-Window with a strong focus on speed. " "Cub'X-Window not only provides all features for the best communication between X and NEXTSTEP, but also permits users to get the fastest display of X apps on NEXTSTEP machines. Each Cub'X-Window upgrade pushes forward the limit of X speed performance, and it is our ambition to keep on providing a high-quality Cub'X-Window solution on Intel based NEXTSTEP computers." Cub'X-Window for NEXTSTEP for Intel processors (NSFip) will be available in July 1993. This Intel version provides on white hardware the very same range of high quality features and X display options provided in Cub'X-Window for NeXT hardware.
