I'm interested in X servers running on PC's.  I have some information on a
number of products, and have grabbed the x.windows file held at
rjc@math.princetown.edu. However that has no comments more recent than
September last year.

I'd like to know about servers running under either MSDOS or Microsoft
Windows.  The products I am aware of are (in no particular order)
are:

  HCL-eXceed Plus       Hummingbird Communications Ltd
* HCL-eXceed/W

  X11/AT                Integrated Inference Engines

* X11/AT                Unipalm Ltd

  PC-Xview              Graphic Software Systems

  PC-Xsight             Locus Computing Corporation, or
                        perhaps Transparent Technology

* Xvision               Visionware

Those asterisked run under Microsoft Windows.

I'd be particularly interested to hear from anyone who has used more
than one of these products (or any others), and can describe differences
they noticed between them.

Also we are currently running the Clarkson University TCP/IP implementation,
using packet drivers to interface with Novell version 2.15.  Do any X servers
run in this environment?  Have you any recommendations on alternatives.

Send replies to comp.windows.x or comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc, or to me directly
at srlncnc@badger.dosli.govt.nz.  I'll summarize if there is sufficient
response.

Thanks in advance for any info..
