Is Microwindow a "window-enable" graphic library? After skimming through its
source codes, I found:

1. If you are using nano-X api, all calls are directed to another program
called nano-X (i.e., client/server like X).
2. If you are using MS0Win api, you are actually using a graphic library
that
is capable of dealing with windows. In other words, you cannot run a second
microwindow application on the same system.

Am I right?

Henri

	Yes, this is configurable to be linked in or client/server.

	That's currently true for the microwin API, but will change
in a future release.  I wanted to come up with a standard marshalling
scheme but haven't implemented it yet.
