Greetings one and all!

I've used the the full environment (cdk.exe) vb18 as a viable shell
solution for win95 for a bit now, and I'm quite impressed with the work
you all have done.

I'd like to move up (as painlessly as possible) to b19 with the X11R6.3
binaries and clients. If possible, I'd like to substitute an X Environment
for the win95 GUI.

Any suggestions or tips for a smooth transition from a text-oriented b18
installation to b19 and X?

Cheers to you all!
-James
