If you want to execute UNIX graphical programs that display on a Windows box then you need a PC-based X Server.

One such product is Reflection/X:

Another approach is Citrix:

I would add Hummingbird as the $500 per license but very solid alternative.

If you are feeling adventurous, you could try using cygwin, and installing gnome desktop on top. Free, but a bit cumbersome if you want to deploy it on a number of systems. It also needs to be quite a beefy system to run on.

I turned the problem on its head - the system I use runs Linux native, and Windows inside a VMWare session. Linux has an X server with it - problem solved!

Bottom line, if you want to run a program on a server and have the graphical window display back to a PC, you need an X Server installation on that PC (as already mentioned, Hummingbird Exceed, ReflectionsX etc etc).

Hi,

could you explain the connection between visual c++ and unix? Do you really want to start a unix programme with that?

You can run Unix X-windows programs by exporting the display to a Win2k system with X-Server software installed.

A cheap X-Server is WinaXe+, see http://www.labf.com/winaxeplus/index.html.

I'm not sure what you mean by Visual Basic/C++, please explain....

You can download a very good X server from

It's an inexpensive product ($25) with a free trial period.
