Heh, Heh, wouldn't many of us. Not possible right now, but Quarterdeck
Office Systems (the makers of Desqview) are about to ship such a beastie.
A full implementation of X11, Motif, OpenLook, Athena widgets under native
16bit or 32bit DOS (on a 386 of course). It even works remotely over ethernet
lines with other Desqview/X or real X servers.

I was at their product announcement at Xhibition '90 last May and I was
truly impressed with the speed and the potential (DOS programs still run
in "xterms" and can even be displayed remotely).

Call them for a informational booklet. You'll find their address and their
booklet (maybe) in any DOS or Unix magazine.
