I've FTP'd the X11R4-2.0 release from cunifx (thanks to whoever fixed it
up), but I have some questions, having NEVER used X before. These should 
maybe be on comp.windows.x, but I'll try here first.
 
We're hoping to run X11 on the NeXT and hang graphics capable (well, 
Desqview/X) PCs ethernetted off it. Will we get the NeXTStep interface on 
the PCs, or, more correctly, what WILL we get on the PCs (no flames 
please, I'm a complete amateur at this)?
 
On the PC end (I know, wrong forum...), will PC apps that use graphics 
(ie. Lotus 1-2-3 rel3, Harvard, etc) display their output on a window on 
the NeXT? Or will we only get command-line?
 
We'd like to have some kind of graphical interface betwen the machines, 
but if we're only going to get command-line shell, it's not worth the 
hassle.

Thanks,
