Tools for porting X/Motif applications to the Windows environment
Exceed XDK

Bringing UNIX workstation functionality to your PC

OpenText Exceed XDK is an add-on program for the PC X server gold standard Exceed. With its rich feature set, the Exceed XDK promises increased productivity. OpenText (formerly Hummingbird) X Window System Development Kit allows you to migrate X Window applications from UNIX, VMS, etc. to the PC environment. The development kit contains the OSF/Motif toolkit and Xlib library needed to create X window applications. By using the Exceed XDK, it will be possible to take advantage of applications already developed on UNIX and provide applications that run on Windows in a short period of time. In addition, even after the release of the application, it can be easily reflected in both the UNIX and Windows versions when the application is upgraded.

  • By combining with the Japanese version of Exceed, it supports Japanese input/output in a Japanese environment.
  • Local X applications built using the Exceed XDK can be run in a standalone environment, or they can be run over a network in a client/server fashion just like they were on UNIX. increase. Also, when operating in a stand-alone environment, network settings are not required.

Superiority of Exceed XDK

Effective use of PC resources during development

Program developers can port their X Windows applications from operating systems such as UNIX and VMS to the Windows environment. Due to the nature of X applications, they can be run over a network. In other words, you can use your PC like an application server.

Save money on workstation purchases.

If your business is small or you have to work within a limited budget, you can do your application development on cheaper PCs.

Teaching the X Window System

Universities and other educational institutions that have installed a large number of PCs can use PCs instead of expensive workstations to teach the X Window System. Students can study both on and off campus by using PCs.
