The Simple X Protocol Compressor
|
|
|
|
This program provides compression of the X protocol stream.
|
|
It is intended to be used to improve the performance of X applications
|
|
over a slow internet connection. (e.g. slip,cslip. or term) It assumes
|
|
a Unix operating system at both ends of the link. Transferring large
|
|
bitmaps or images through sxpc may be slower than not using it.
|
|
The algorithms used are geared primarily for the data exchanged
|
|
during interactive use where the same data may be sent several times
|
|
with only small changes. (e.g. editing)
|
|

WARNING WARNING DANGER DANGER
|
|
If you use this program use xauth to provide SECURITY, since
|
|
host-based security will be BYPASSED. See README.xauth in the work
|
|
sub-directory.
