[comp.sys.ibm.pc] X on DOS ?

fischer@netmbx.UUCP (Axel Fischer) (10/17/89)

Hello,

I would like to know if an implementation of X-Windows 11.{2,3} exists for
MS-DOS 3.2 ?

I can display 640x480, 800x600, 1024x768, ... here with 4 MB of RAM on my
80386, so I would like to have X.

Please send a mail reply if you know of a Public Domain or Commercial
implementation.

Thanks for your help,

	Axel

There are a few X11 implementations for PC's.  I recently ran into a
new one which runs under MS Windows (286/386 only).  Implied is that
the X Windows will run under any display configuration which has an
MS Windows device driver.

Transparent Technology has a product called PC-Xsight which is apparently
a full implementation of X 11.3 under MS-DOS, using TCP/IP over an Ethernet
connection to talk to the server.  They advertise in Unix Review, among
other places.  Total cost of their software is around $500, with another
$700 buying you a Western Digital Ethernet card, a Paradise VGA card, and a
Logitech mouse, which they selected and vend because of proven value &
compatibility with PC-Xsight.  I don't have their address handy.
