Cygwin/X

Cygwin/X can be used for connecing to Unix/Linux servers and displaying windows.
You can try cygwin if Xwin32 is slow when using SeisSpace. Another alternative is MobaXterm.

How to start

If logging in doesn't work the first time, try again.
E.g. if you're going to connect to promax:

  1. shortcut on desktop: CygwinX promax.bat
  2. c:\cygwin64\CygwinX promax.bat

If that doesn't work, or if you want to connect to another server:

SeisSpace

Install on your PC
