I've heard that there is actually an X-Windows implementation available under MS-DOS. Is this for real? Can anyone give me additional information such as the name of the vendor, phone number, comments about performance, etc. I'm interested in the possibility of porting a small portion of an X application from a workstation to a PC. I know this is retrograde beyond belief, but even so, could be interesting.

your information is correct! actually, the front-page article in MIS WEEK a few weeks ago spoke about how a manager can recycle the old PC's in stock by making them into X servers with dos-based X server software. i saw two in operation at COMDEX chicago this year; one was called PC-XVIEW and the other has a name which escapes me. however, they were both being demonstrated at the at&t booth and so i'd start with you're local at&t rep. if that's no help, send me some email and i'll dig out a pointer from my files for you. woodward@uicbugs.cba.uic.edu
