This is a correction.
I called Quarterdeck again to make sure the price I posted was right.
Well I was wrong.
The price for the development system is $1,000.
According to their literature there are 3 types of X client applications
you can develop.
Real Mode applications.
For these applications you only need a standard DOS compiler.
Protected mode applications.
You can develop 16 bit or 32 bit applications.
For 16 bit you need a standard DOS compiler and a 286 DOS extender.
For 32 bit you need a protected mode DOS compiler and a 386 DOS extender.

The operator I talked to did not know what will be included in the 
development system, but if no DOS extender is included then you need
at least a 286 DOS extender, a ~$500 product.
