PC-Xsight was developed by Locus Computing, PC-Xview by Graphic
Software Systems.  In addition, HP has a high-end product named AX/DS.
The GSS product runs on EGAs and VGAs, the AX/DS has its own display
controller and wants a 1024x768 tube.  We have both AX/DS and Xview
in-house for testing because they run on our transport layer, and they
seem quite reasonable.  The AX/DS leaves lots of room in normal DOS
memory, because much of its code runs on the display adapter.  GSS
requires a 640K machine (and uses EMS or expanded memory if available).
