X-Win32 is an X terminal application which allows PC users to connect their Windows-based computer to a Linux or UNIX server, such as ubunix.buffalo.edu. It allows X application programs located on other computers on the local area network to connect to your computer, and will use your computer to display the results.

You must have an active computer account on a system running UNIX/Linux to use X-Win32.
