CGI was developed by SCO Xenix and is device independent interface
to graphics devices. It allows control over several graphics
devices simultaneusly without regard for their individual features.
It also provides programmatic support for mouse-driven pop-up 
menus, icons and the like.

I would suggest you wait for their Xenix X11 implementation for 
386 PCs expected to be there in May.
