Well I'm not sure how I got the job, but I will be putting the coXist
demo back on nova.cc.purdue.edu later today. Look for it in the 
submissions directory. I have included the install instructions that
were posted earlier by Wes Smith. Following these instructions I had no
problem getting the demo up and running. coXist opens a NeXT window which
handles the X windows inside it. Seems to work very well. But *please*
direct any questions or comments to Pencom since I know very little about
X and their product.
