: And while we're on the subject, I have a question that maybe you or one of
: the more experienced Nano-Xers around here can answer. I thought that
: "Microwindows" was just the old name of Nano-X and that the change came
: about because Bill Gates had a hissy fit. Now it seems, based on your
: algorithm below and some other things that I've read in the code and the
: documentation, that Microwindows is another entity that is separate, but
: related to, Nano-X. What's the deal?
Microwindows is the old name of the Nano-X project. Microsoft
contacted me and had a problem with the continued use of the
name. After some time and much negotiating, I agreed to drop
the use of the Microwindows name for use describing the project.
Also, originally "Microwindows" was used to describe the win32
API, and "Nano-X" described the "Xlib-like" API, both
within the project.
