Yes.  The X window system has been ported to the PC.  It is called
DESQvioew/X.  Desqview is a non-preemptive multitasking system which 
runs on all Intel based systems under DOS.  You can develop X clients
that run on a PC as well as on a distributed network.  For further
information you can contact Quarterdeck at:
