Xnext works quite well. The only problem with Xnext is that it
takes over your screen i.e. you can't flop back and forth between
apps. A good basic R4 X windows system.
Now co-Xist is easy to install and works quite well. I purchased
the Motif developer's version. co-Xist also let's you move between
apps (hence the name). I have one problem with co-Xist though and
that is this one single app I have, using all Xlib calls, doesn't
get the keycodes right ("i" is turned into a "7" and all the special
characters "$" and "%" and "^" etc are turned into spaces).
I recommend both. For the money, Pencom's product seems pretty
good especially if you need Motif.
