I found the source to what may be a beginning attempt at a X server for
MS/PCDOS.  You can find it at UUNET.UU.NET in ~ftp/X/contrib.R2/xpc.tar.Z

I haven't had a chnace to look thru the code - but the info I got from the
info files included indicate that it was done by two student interns at
Bellcore over the summer - I don't know how far they got.  If anyone else
is interested in getting this up & running please let me/us know.  I do believe
that this source code has been released to the public domain.  I have seen
commercial versions of MSDOS based X-server running when I was at DECUS/DEXPO
a couple of weeks ago - DEC's is Decnet based (requires Decnet DOS & a Decnet
machine running X or DecWindows, arrgghh) and IBM (who?) was running one put
out by Locus Computing which is TCP/IP based.
