I think everyone has missed R. Alan Johnson's point (or else I did).  It
sure seems to me that you could have a windowing/graphics library with
the same interface as Xlib running under a single-tasking DOS such that
the same client code could be compiled and run in the DOS environment
and also in a true X environment.  It would certainly have to be
restricted to a single functional window at a time as MS-Windows 286 and
Quarterdeck's windowing system have done.
