i appologize for the wording in my previous posting regarding GSS's X 
implementation.  i should have said, "we are porting," rather than, 
"we have ported."  

we *did* have a running demonstration running at uniform using microsoft system 
v xenix/386, but this is not a released product.  i cannot divulge any info on
the status of this product or any of the technical details.  your best bet is
the trade rags since uniforum.

IMPORTANT: my posting was *not* intended to make any pre-mature announcements, 
but rather to address the question of, "is it okay to write my X application to
never run on anything but BSD?"

the obvious answer is, "no."  even though certain aspects of most any 
application - especially X applications - must utilize certain OS dependent
functions, such as sockets, it is wise to isolate these as much as possible for
ifdefing in a similar function on another OS.  

'nuff said.
