I don't see mention of X-mouse, which I use.  X-mouse comes from McGill  
University, and that's all I know about it.  Couldn't tell ya where to ftp  
to.  I believe it's public domain.

When you start up this X, NeXTstep vanishes and a standard-looking X  
appearance takes over the screen.  This X does everything I've needed it  
to do and I've run into few problems.  Some of the things I do are:  run S  
(a statistics/graphics package) on a sparc but use the NeXT as the  
display; run Motif/X programs from a Silicon Graphics machine with the  
NeXT as display.

You can suspend your X session and return to NeXTstep and then back again  
with special keystrokes.

There is a strange interaction with the Mail program, though.  If you  
return to X with the NeXT mail program still running, X will.  This only  
happens intermittently, though.
