I just wanted to mention how thrilled I am with XNeXT!! The installation
was simple and flawless. I suddenly have a window on the rest of the
world.  I ran several programs from a DECStation 3100 ON MY NeXT!! I
just rlogged into the 3100, set the DISPLAY variable and up popped the
X application window in the XNeXT window.  There is no noticable
degradation in preformance because of any overhead of the application.
The only problems I had were:
1) Clipping of the window on some apps (like xmille and mahjongg)
(Perhaps can be fixed by using a -geometry arg somewhere)
2) Color mapping

It was amazing seeing things like xfish and spice run as if the NeXT
was the DECStation but with all of the NextStep apps running on the same
box!!

Just thought I'd throw in my two cents worth...
