About StarNet

StarNet Communications has been a leading developer of X Windows solutions since 1989. After establishing X-Win32 as the de facto standard in the higher education market during the early to mid-1990s -- 150 unlimited Campus Site Licenses worldwide -- X-Win32 has become of one the top three PC X servers in the government and commercial sectors as well.

Unlike its major rivals, Exceed (Hummingbird) and Reflection-X (WRQ/Attachmate), X-Win32 offers a highly focused PC X server that offers superior performance and productivity features, stability, ease of use and low cost (40% or better in most cases).

StarNet also delivers unequaled customer support. Our state-of-the-art engineering infrastructure allows us to fix problems and make a new release available quickly (overnight in many cases). As our testimonials page shows, StarNet customers consistently rate their X-Win32 experience as the best in the industry.




Upgrading to X-Win32 6.1 results in a blank xterm

Upon upgrading to X-Win32 6.1 if your xterm windows are now blank (i.e. they do not have any text in them), then you might be having a problem with your misc font directory for X-Win32 . In addition, you may notice that the previously installed versions of X-Win32 now have the same problem as well.

This problem was fixed in the last X-Win32 6.1 installers that were made available; if you are currently encountering this problem, please visit the Upgrade page to obtain the latest X-Win32 6.1 installer.

Alternatively, please consider upgrading to X-Win32 7.1 or later, which now includes fonts used only by that installation of X-Win32 instead of the shared font folder used by X-Win32 7.0 and earlier. This font installation scheme continues in X-Win32 8 and later as well.
