I just finished reading "DESQview/X, A Technical Perspective"
which talks about plans for a new version of DESQview. This new version
will contain a whole bunch of stuff, among which are:
o An MSDOS X server
o Various window managers
o Xlib, Xt, and various toolkits
o MSDOS system software to make all this work right
This document says nothing about cost but, given the rapidly
descreasing price of CPU's and memory, I wonder what DESQview/X
will do to the X-terminal market. For that matter, I wonder if this
will help make developing X applications more profitable since the
number of machines capable of running DESQview/X will be very large.
And, I wonder what this will do to the Windows 3.0 and OS/2-PM market.
(Of course, all this assumes that DESQview/X works well).
