It seems like it's time to post a list of X servers, again! So, here it
is, every X for DOS package that I have ever heard of. Most of these
packages are available for an assortment of commercial TCP/IP packages.

	Bell Technologies (Fremont, CA: 415-659-9097)

	multi-tasking DOS environment. (not yet released)

	Spectragraphics (formerly GSS) (503-641-2200) makes PC-Xview, an 
	MSDOS-based X server. (This used to be available for our PC/TCP 
	and Excelan's LAN WorkPlace for DOS. It is still available for
	our stuff, and may run over the new Novell LAN Workplace for DOS.)
