[comp.windows.x] X Windows port to SCO XENIX

PETERB@bnr.mit.EDU (Peter Boos, P.S.) (07/15/87)

Is anyone aware of an X Windows port to the SCO XENIX operating system,
or to any other XENIX OS, for that matter?
If so, please let me know, as we would be very interested in knowing
more details.

GSS, I believe, is doing a commercial 386 port of X to some flavor of
UNIX; I'm not sure whether it's XENIX 386 or the Interactive 386 port.
I'm starting a port of my own to XENIX 386 on an AT with an Intel Inboard
using a Wyse 700 monitor.  Should it ever get completed (I'm aiming for
end-of-year), it'll be freely available.

I never ever considered trying this on a 286 with SCO XENIX 286--the 16-bit
integers are only the beginning of your trouble.
