Is anybody using X windows under NOS/VE on CDC Cyber machines? CDC have
the Xlib for NOS/VE as a product, available for $$$. So I wonder what
stories/info people have about X clients running on VE. Is it easy to
port X clients (e.g. UNIX code from the MIT tape)? How buggy is CDC's Xlib?
I have checked CDC's customer support database (SOLVER) but there aren't
any reports under X windows (although there is an assigned product
identifier - XWN).

Thanks for any info people can provide.
