I don't have DV/X, but I do have a booklet published by Quarterdeck
on the product. To quote from it,
"...the base development product will include the X Server product,
...in addition to the X11 libraries. This product allows a developer
to create DOS-based X clients using a third party compiler and,
for clients larger than 640K, a DOS Extender."
The DOS extender must follow the VCPI spec like our friend go32 does.
