Hi there!  Please excuse me if this topic has been brought up before. I
have just begun subscribing to this newsgroup.


I am interested in getting any information about existing window packages
out there for the PC.  My concern at the moment is for those that run
on MS-DOS, but I would welcome ideas about the future of MS-Windows etc.

In particular, I have noticed ads for the following:

		Vitamin C 
		MetaWindows
		Matrix Technology Windows
		GEM
		&
		MS-Windows

If anyone has had experience with any of these or others I would really 
appreciate their comments.  I am concerned about performance issues involved
in developing an application using a window system.  

One of my concerns has to do with trying to do terminal emulation as a
process in a window.  What sort of speed restrictions have netters found?

Many thanks in advance.
Happy Hollidays!
