Subject: Making a PC into an X-Server

Hi:

	There seems to be a lot of interest in making a PC into an X-terminal.

	I have heard about a package called DESQview/X by Quarterdeck. This runs under
 MS-DOS and is an extension of their older DESQview package, with one important
 difference: it has a built-in X-server. This allows you to multitask DOS
 applications, local X-applications *and* X-applications running on a UNIX
 server. Unfortunately, your PC needs to be on an ethernet.

	This package has not been released yet (so it's still vapourware, right?), but
 I understand that some developers have been given beta copies. In fact I'm
 supposed to be getting a copy real soon now.
