If the server and the libraries don't share the same files, then that's subject only to the X protocol. So we have two cases: (a) they shared the same libraries, and you're correct in advising the poster that it's a bad idea, or (b) they don't - and you're effectively stating that the combination is not interoperable. (whether you _prefer_ to support something is unrelated to this issue). -- Thomas E. Dickey http://invisible-island.net ftp://invisible-island.net
