X Clients

Many more clients exist than would be possible to document in this text, ranging from games to terminal emulators to such well-loved masterpieces as sendmail. Some programs, such as Emacs, are not fully-fledged X applications, but make use of some X features, such as moving the cursor with the mouse. Some of the most important and most useful X clients are:

• xterm - a VT100 and Tektronix terminal emulator
• Emacs - an editor (See Emacs, for more in-depth info...)
• xnetload - strip chart showing workload on various workstations
• xbiff - mail notification, announces new mail
• xclock - analog or digital clock display on root window
• xdvi - allows a pre-print preview of files produced by TeX
• xman - on-line X Window System manual browser
• xcalc - on-line scientific calculator
• xhost - control access to your screen from other machines
• info - read info files (documentation for many programs such as Emacs, etc.)
• ghostview - PostScript previewer
• xdbx - X interface to dbx
