I am looking for a X Server for an IBM-PC running MS-DOS. I have several
different configurations -
IBM-PC/XT/AT with EGA/VGA graphics
IBM-PS2/80 with 8514 high-res display
Fivestar 80386 system with EGA/VGA display
The ethernet cards will be either Western Digital or 3Com (I think).
Any pointers to an X server for any of the above would be greatly
appretiated

My best suggestion is to contact west coast archives. They are down currently down right now, but they had an unconfirmed version.. mail to the sysop is sporattic (sp!) at best. Any information would be appriciated by me too :-] I havn't stopped trying.

I found the source to what may be a beginning attempt at a X server for MS/PCDOS. You can find it at UUNET.UU.NET in ~ftp/X/contrib.R2/xpc.tar.Z I haven't had a chnace to look thru the code - but the info I got from the info files included indicate that it was done by two student interns at Bellcore over the summer - I don't know how far they got. If anyone else is interested in getting this up & running please let me/us know. I do believe that this source code has been released to the public domain. I have seen commercial versions of MSDOS based X-server running when I was at DECUS/DEXPO a couple of weeks ago - DEC's is Decnet based (requires Decnet DOS & a Decnet machine running X or DecWindows, arrgghh) and IBM (who?) was running one put out by Locus Computing which is TCP/IP based. -Chris
