There is a package called the Extensible Virtual Toolkit which
may be of interest. It purports to be a high level programming
interface for applications which must run under the Mac Toolbox,
MS-Windows and X Windows. It is made by
   Advanced Programming Institute, Ltd
   Box 17665
   Boulder, CO 80308
   (303) 666.9472
They ship their manual, or you can download it from Compuserve.

Also of interest is a Mac X server which runs under Multifinder.
It is being developed by
   White Pine Software
   94 Rt 101A
   PO Box 1108
   Peterborough, NH 03031
   (603) 886.9050

I haven't used either of these, so I make no claims.
