The line from TI is that they are waiting for Apple 
to release an official version of X.
I've heard that there are 3rd party versions of X 
that run on the Mac, but TI is waiting for a version
that comes from Apple which I believe is expected to
be included in the next major release of the Mac
operating system.  When this comes out (in theory) TI
should quickly make CLX (and  as a result CLIO) available
for the MicroExplorer.  Until then, James is right, you
don't have a chance of bringing up CLIO on the MicroEx.
