Maybe it is time for some comparison between the X's for UNIX/386:
AT&T's X11, Interactive's X11, Enix's X11
and perhaps the forthcoming X11 for SCO Xenix.
Bell's X for the W.G.E. card is X10, so I guess that would be
comparing apples to oranges.

Does anybody have some experience with more then one system?
What is the current release of each of the systems: X11r2 or X11r3?
What display devices are supported ?
How about the prices ?
How easy or difficult is it to port the sources submitted to comp.sources.x ?
Is VP/ix supported as a window in X yet ?

The AT&T XWindows is 11.2, and is supposed to be really nice, and even
run on an EGA card (!?). The problem is that it's hardwired to StarLAN,
and won't gracefully get to Ethernet :-(, without a StarLAN to Ethernet
convertor. We're all still waiting..........
