"clones" or "look-alikes" certainly.  "Ports" definitely NOT.

True, but I suspect that Nick suspected that the original questor was
mislead by the name into believing that this group was for some sort
of X-Windows software.

I got no problem with that.  This list is pretty low-volume.  And I'd
wouldn't mind seeing progress reports about these other packages.

Well, I'll take your word for it.  But I haven't seen many indicators
that this is true.  XEDIT is the greatest editor I've ever seen.  But
it sure doesn't seem to be catching fire on very many non-VM platforms.
