I've read the FAQs on X servers for IBM-PC clones, and the list is sort
of small for servers under MS-DOS.  I called Quarterdeck first, and they
said DESQview/X won't be ready until August.  I called Hummingbird, and
they have a hefty return fee if I don't like the implementation.  Spectra-
Graphics/GSS sounded good until I told them I wanted to talk to our VMS
systems running DECwindows.  They told me they don't support PC-Xview
talking to DECwindows under VMS.  I decided at this point to just ask
what other people are using on their IBM-PC clones with VMS DECwindows.
Please e-mail your experiences, and if there is interest I'll summarize
to the group.  I'm interested in an X server for an IBM-PC clone talking
to VMS DECwindows at the moment.  If the X server will talk to other
kinds of systems, that's okay, but it HAS to be able to work with VMS
DECwindows.

Thanks
