Just a nit-pick, but there is no such thing as "XWindows" or
"X-Windows" or
any concatenation of "X" and "Window" and "s" you can think
of. It's the "X
Window System," "X11," "X11R<whatever revision>," or just
"X" specifically
to /not/ confuse it with a crappy piece of software that Microsoft markets
as a windowed operating system.

Gian-Paolo> or a standard tty app?

Ghostscript (gs) has been ported to just about any graphical system you can
list, from DOS boxes, to Amigas, to X11.
