To all those thinking about X on OpenDOS, *PLEASE* go to
http://ecco.bsee.swin.edu.au/unix/uh/x-windows.html and read it ALL. If at

"The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be
regarded as a criminal offense." - Edsger W. Dijkstra.

"You can't prove anything about a program written in C or FORTRAN.  It's
really just Peek and Poke with some syntactic sugar." - Bill Joy.
