There has been some recent discussion which indicated that PM/X (Presentation Manager/Xenix) from Microsoft would work with X windows. That is definitely not the case. PM/X is a port of PM 1.1 to Xenix and nothing else; the idea is to support essentially the same source API as OS/2 PM. Support for a brain-dead X server under OS/2 PM is a future thing, not yet really started on. Note that the /X in PM/X is for Xenix, not for X Windows; other MS products use /X e.g. LanMan/X is the Xenix version of OS/2 Lan Manager. By the way, don't assume that if Bill Gates says something it's true... -richard (golding@saturn.ucsc.edu) (recently-ex-MS PM developer)
