DS>I am interested in finding out if using Q'deck's X-Libs etc, I can do Unix DS>style X-windows development on my DOS based PC. I need to do X-Windows prog. DS>at home and do not want to setup Unix/X at home - it is a pain - and with DS>DV/X I can still use my DOS programs. DS>If so, what products do I need from Q'deck - besides their $50 package cont- DS>aining Xlibs and GCC + manuals (??). Will Windows 3.1 run (with Multimedia DS>extensions?) under DV/X. How much room would this take up - i.e. DV/X + GCC + DS>Xlibs? If so, then I think I just found my GUI of choice. Who do I call? Windows 3.1 will most certainly run under DESQview/X -- either direct/full-screen, or in an X Window; how well the multimedia extensions will do in an X Window is open to question. Everything that you describe above -- compiler, XLibs, and DESQview/X -- should take between 15 and 20MB on your drive when unpacked. DS>I have had a lot of experience with PC OSes, but many things (like VCPI vs DS>DPMI) in the DOS world are confusing and unnecessary obfuscated. I am really DS>looking forward to using a more familiar GUI that will allow me do to all my DS>DOS work (at-matlab, mathematica 2.0, mathCAD 2.5 etc) and still allow me the DS>luxury of toying with more familiar Unix-y X-Windows apps. DS>I would also appreciate any info on how I go about ordering this stuff. DS>ALso, I would like to request a response from QuarterDeck about this.
