This is just an informational message for all you Xinu users out
there.  I am currently working on a port of X11 to Xinu.  This entails
several steps:

1) write a mouse/screen driver for Xinu (currently it has a tty line
driver but can't talk to the main console)

2) write software to reliably exchange packets with a Unix host (not
using TCP at this point)

3) port the X11 software.

I'm currently part way through 2 and starting 1.  I hope to be
finished with the project by the end of the Spring semester (May).
Keep watching for updates.
