Yes, I too am aware of that; however, there is additional work going on
within AT&T (that you may also be aware of) besides that.  Being that I
am under non-disclosure agreement I can't say who, where, or exactly 
what that other work is.k  I can say that there is someone working on
developing something that "ports" existing MS Windows source to their
approximate X functions; and whenever necessary to "emulate" the
equivalent functions if there is no direct equivalent.

When I first heard of this I gawked "why would anyone want to mimic
MS Windows in X instead of the other way around?"  I still don't have
the answer.

Thanks for the reply.
