Anyone have any recommendations on pc dos versions of X that can be used
to run grass ?
We use HCL-eXceed/W, It is an X emulation package which runs with ms-windows.
It works fine, even with 16 color VGA, allthough you will have very limited
standard color possibilities for displaying vectormaps e.g. We noticed one
problem when using HCL-eXceed: When using d.zoom the GRASS-window is erased.
This can be solved, by modifying the Xdriver wich comes with grass.
We have a novell netwerk installed with LAN workplace for dos, but you can
also use other TCP software. We also tried Desqview/X from Quarterdeck,
this program didn't work with grass, It had problems with grass-colortables.
