[CSC 315] Putty with XMing

[Steven Hussung]

Hello everyone. I have managed to get a reasonably responsive X11 
forwarding rig set up on my laptop. I tested it with the line1.cc and 
interactive.cc examples from class, and it worked fine. I thought other 
people might want to try this too.

The following tutorial is very good, I followed it exactly, and I have 
had no problems.

Of course, skip the "install PuTTY" section if you have PuTTY already.

Also, for this to work, you /must/ start XLaunch (in programs/all 
programs) before launching PuTTY any time you want to use the 
forwarding. I believe it remains running after PuTTY exits, so you 
should only have to do this one time per reboot.

Note: I have Windows 7 32-bit installed on my Dell laptop.

Hope that someone else finds this useful!
Steve
