+RX: X Remote eXecution
+----------------------
+
+The remote execution (RX) service specifies a MIME format for invoking
+applications remotely, for example via a World Wide Web browser. This RX format
+specifies a syntax for listing network services required by the application, for
+example an X display server. The requesting Web browser must identify specific
+instances of the services in the request to invoke the application.
+
+The distribution contains a helper program (xrx) and a Mozilla family browser
+plug-in (libxrx) that demonstrate this protocol. The plug-in was originally
+written for Navigator 3.0, but has been used with later versions of the Mozilla
+family of browsers, including Firefox.
+
+The specification for the RX mime type is in the xorg-docs module in the X.Org
+repository in specs/RX/RX.mif (FrameMaker interchange source) and
+hardcopy/RX/RX.PS.Z (compressed PostScript).
