	I saw a demonstration of the X-window system for SCO at one
of the trade shows.  They had several windows running on the console
and it was quite a nice.  The salesman said that would be available 
for release sometime in January but he wouldn't be more specific.
He also mentioned that the price would be around $800 for the entire
package (I guess he meant with the x-libraries).

	Since that was the only application running on a 25MHz 386
system, it was pretty fast.  I would've like to see X-windows running
on several other terminals, like the Sun River's, and see what kind
of performance degradation occurs.
