Yes, X11R3 & X11R4 can be run on a NeXT.  NeXT Computer does not support either
of them to the best of my knowlege.  I have a Beta copy of McGill U's X11R4
server for the NeXT.  It runs great!  I have run X on the NeXT, used DecWindows
window manager off of a VaxStation 3100, and run Apps off of an Rs-6000 all
displaying on the NeXT at once.  It still isn't as nice as pure NeXTStep, but
It is amusing.  I will be glad to demo to anyone that is in the Cincinnati, OH
area.
