  It's much farther than vaporware. It's scheduled to be released early
next year. Only things I know so far are that :

	1) TCP/IP and Novell Netware support
	2) Runs X11r3  (don't quote me on this!)
	3) Allows X applications to be run locally (under MS-DOS)
	4) EGA+ required
	5) lotsa memory required

  I have no idea how much this beast is going to cost; I'm not even going
to worry about it for a while until at least the second release.
( version 1.x of ANYTHING is always buggy; yes it is written down somehwrere!)

  Any other new info. would be appreciated...
