[comp.windows.x] Comments on DESQview/X beta realease?

metz@iam.unibe.ch (Igor Metz) (08/31/90)

I got a nice brochure from Quarterdeck Office Systems, in which they describe
their new product DESQview/X for 8086,286,386,486 based PCs.
DESQview/X is an extension to Quarterdeck's DESQview multitasking DOS
environment. It's an X Server which allows you to run multiple DOS applications
(even remote) and local or remote X11 clients. IT LOOKS VERY GOOD...at least on
paper :-)

Has anybody already seen this beta release?
Comments?

I saw it demo'd at Xhibition90, and it IS slick.  Another OS/2 killer, IMHO.
