At the Unix Expo I saw X11/AT from Integrated Inference Machines which looked
pretty interesting.  It ran an X11 environment in a MS Window (3.0).
It apparently used a DLL to trap the X stuff and convert to MSW calls.
You were also able to cut-n-paste between xterms and other MSW windows.

A tech rep told me that the next rev of their software (he wouldn't
say when) would do away with the notion of an entire X environment
in an MS window and put separate X clients each in their own MS window.

BTW, at the NeWS Bof there, Sun announced availability of OW (X *and* NeWS)
src code for $1,000 on Jan 1.  They were also giving away free copies
of OW 2.0 *with* all the docs (at the Open Vistas booth).
