I'd like to take some code that is currently running on a
Sun workstation, written in C, and using X windows, and
port it to a '386 PC running DOS, using VGA.

Apart from the obvious problem of memory utilization, can this
be done?  Does anyone already have an MS-DOS version of the
X libraries?  Do any of the MS-DOS X server implementations (such
as XSight from Locus), support X clients running locally?

Is this a bad idea? Your thoughts would be appreciated.
