From: exl@proteon.COM (Eugene X. Lummelsky) > 1. releasing alpha versions of QuarterDeck's Desqview/X, which >can run both, DOS and X Window applications, on either a PC or an X >Window workstation. (213)392-9851 Define "releasing". This product is not for sale and won't even be in *beta* until later this year. Quarterdeck expects to actually put it on the market for sale in 1991. They are only allowing certain CURRENT selected Desqview API users (which I am not) to even be beta sites for this product. > 2. shipment of XVision 3.0 (Microsoft Windows-based X >server)-from UniPress Softweare, Edison, N.J.(201)985-8000, $449.00. >Unlike Desqview/X it can not run DOS applications on Unix workstation. >Basic requirements: 80286 min., Microsoft Windows (v.286, or 386 >version 2.0 or later). >There is also PC-XView from GSS (503)641-2455, $295 (cheap, isn't >it?). This one is just an emulator of XWindow System, v.11. Too cheap >to be true. Both of the above products are X TERMINAL products. There is no X-client functionality or means of developing X app's. At the risk of being tiresome, I've made it clear that I wanted to buy software for my PC which would provide client AND server, function- ality such as I already have on any UNIX workstation, IF SUCH A THING EXISTS! I want to be able to *write* X apps and then *run* them on a PC and *display* them on a PC. ---Peter
