MacOS *X*, not MacOS X!

Hmm, not being a Mac person, but being a Master of Google-Fu, with this: +MacOS +"X Window" -"OS X"
the best I've got is:

(Not *really* cheap, but might be worth the money.) The info in this:

http://www.faqs.org/faqs/x-faq/part4/section-15.html

is all completely out of date, but it includes some hints. Best bet is probably to find someone who still has a copy of MacX.

The general situation seems to be that Apple produced a free X server, so no one else made one unless they needed something better for another product. And when OS X came out, Apple and everyone else said "okay, we don't need to bother with that any more."

I bow before your Google-Fu skills, and I thank you for the links and the history lesson. Yeah, the advice on that page is dated, but it contains more clues than I was able to find in about an hour of searching. Doing more searching based on those cluse now. Thanks.
