Description: !Xfront is an improved front end for the X-Window server package by Gnome Computers. !X is a very nice program that allows your RISCOS computer to function as an X terminal. Unfortunately, the frontend for !X requires you to remember the command line syntax and options if you wish to reconfigure the number of screens, resolution, colour depth, etc. !Xfront is an application that coexists with !X to provide a more versatile user interface. You *must* have a copy of !X and also the filer must have 'seen' that copy in order for !Xfront to run.
