I don't know if C-Scape under DOS will work on *nix, but I am developing
X-windows applications using DV/X and the new DJGPP compiler.  This is a
*nix compiler for DOS (requires a 386), and quite a few X programs work
without change, although some do require it.

The whole setup cost me the price of DV/X, and free compiler and X libraries
makes it quite affordable :)

If you want more info, check out the comp.os.msdos.desqview newsgroup, where
Quaterdeck reps are quite active...
