I saw an ad in NASA Tech Briefs for a product called X11/AT which
appears to be X11R3 inside a Microsoft Window. It's from a
company called Integrated Inference Machines and lists for $395.
Their phone # is (714) 978-6201.

I've never seen this software run and know nothing about the company.
I've just seen the ad.
