eXceed allows PCs running Microsoft Windows to emulate X-Windows machines. The program has a variety of attractive features: a performance optimized 32-bit PC X server; VxD-based TCP/IP network software; highspeed serial access to X hosts over telephone lines; an X development kit; eXceed BASIC scripting language; and state-of-the-art network installation and administration facilities.
