At last summer's San Francisco USENIX meeting, X11 was a novelty on vender's
products.  At this week's San Francisco Uniforum meeting, robust color X11R3
was everywhere!  Of concern to comp.windows.x readers were IBM PC ports.
There were ports on MS-DOS, OS/2, AIX, Pc/2, RT-1s & 2s, mostly from 3rd
parties of whom I forget their names.  So just patiently wait for shipping
announcements.  Of interest to us were color X11 X-terminals.  We saw none.
The speed and resolution of the monochrome X-terminals were not impressive.
Being that color X11 workstations are falling below $10K for universities,
we plan to pursue that route instead.
