[comp.lang.smalltalk] X11/Merger what it does, how to get it?

I want to use SmallTalk with X windows.  I gather that this is
going to be solved properly very soon (i.e., every ST80 window being an
X window so that I can use multiple screens and everything) but I would
need a quicker solution at the moment.  For this quick solution the requirement
is to be able to run ST80 on one machine (a SUN) and use it from another workstation
(Apollo 3500) which latter runs an X window manager (and can't run SmallTalk 2.5
since we upgraded the DOMAIN_OS).

I gather from Parc Place Systems that I can make SmallTalk
use X windows on my SUN through X11/Merger ... unfortunately
our system programmers don't know what it is or how to get it
(nor do I).

Could someone enlighten me what it does, how to get it or anything that
I don't know but should?
