The current X Window System is XFree86. To a Linux purist the file structure is wrong. While confusing at first, this change eliminates the problems caused by operating on multiple systems with different file-system structures and simplifies file transfers. Each computer has both Phoenix and Warlord Notebook installed, and is its own mail host and web server. The user ID of the individual using the system determines which application system is started.
Military operations are map and graphic intensive.
To reduce the bandwidth required for communication, full digital maps reside on each system. The only map or graphic material actually transmitted are the geo-referenced graphics. Map with Maneuver Graphics Information on friendly and enemy unit activities and locations is loaded into the system at the first point of observation or occurrence and is then sent throughout the network. Once entered, the data does not have to be re-entered anywhere along the network. The user is unaware that the majority of information is sent using normal e-mail.
