The most recent UNIX Today!, Jan 21, 1991, page 41, has an article on
Pencom's X-Window implementation for the NeXT, available for "just $149
($295 for a version including OSD/Motif)."

The product, called "Co-Xist", is said to run "within the NeXTStep 
PostScript-based GUI, allowing users to run NeXTStep and X applications
concurrently."

Pencom is charging for the media the software is distributed on.
For first-generation NeXT machine owners with optical disks,
Pencom is "operating a deposit scheme, where users pay a $150 
deposit for the disk with software and return it for a refund
after downloading the software onto their own disk."
