This page is out-of-date. See the XDS page on freedesktop.org.

Note: Non-programers will want to read the ROX Introduction page rather than this one.

Please read the technical specification for the XDS protocol.

These example programs require GTK+ 1.2.x to compile and run. They are supplied as a gzipped tar file.
Updated testxds to test scrap file transfers.
Updated 7/6/1999 minor protocol change (window property is set to zero length to indicate failure instead of being deleted).

Note: The ROX project includes a filer which supports XDS fully - you can download it from the ROX-Filer page.

Download the source code.
