I believe rxvt dynamically loads either libWll.dll or libX11.dll (using dlopen()). It does this depending on the setting of the environment variable DISPLAY.
This was done so that the same executable works: 1) in native windows mode on systems without X11 installed 2) in X11 or native windows mode on systems WITH X11 installed, depending on DISPLAY setting. If rxvt were actually LINKED to libX11.dll then it couldn't work with W11, and vice versa. --Chuck Don Sharp wrote: > > Charles Wilson wrote: > >>Schaible, Jörg wrote: >> >> >>>So I can use the named colors, "lighsalmon" works fine on my box.
