I would like to pay your attention on PC WEEK\SOFTWARE from August 27,
1990 (page 39). It talks about two products:
	1. releasing alpha versions of QuarterDeck's Desqview/X, which
can run both, DOS and X Window applications, on either a PC or an X
Window workstation. (213)392-9851
	2. shipment of XVision 3.0 (Microsoft Windows-based X
server)-from UniPress Softweare, Edison, N.J.(201)985-8000, $449.00.
Unlike Desqview/X it can not run DOS applications on Unix workstation.
Basic requirements: 80286 min., Microsoft Windows (v.286, or 386
version 2.0 or later). 
There is also PC-XView from GSS (503)641-2455, $295 (cheap, isn't
it?). This one is just an emulator of XWindow System, v.11. Too cheap
to be true. I've read one email that if you don't have any extended
memory all you will have is two xterms and a wm. 2-4 megs will be
fine, VGA or higher.
				Good luck,
