I've checked the Desqview/X review in the last UNIXWORLD, but it turned
out to be just another advertisement (UNIXWORLD is beginning to look
like Popular Photography) with statements like "we assumed it would
work, so we didn't test it" and others like that.  Last issue of SCO
Magazine has the review of four different X windowing systems for DOS.
It is quite educational to put those two reviews side by side and see
how a review is written and how an advertisement is written...
