- As it presently stands, IBM's X-Windows package will NOT run on top of FTP's
- stacks. I heard a rumor that they may offer a patch in the near future that
- would allow this combination to work. I see in the news groups that they are
- also thinking about a stack that would be visible to DOS and Windows sessions
- under OS/2. This would considerably expand your choices for X. Contact them
- at support@ftp.com to follow-up with more detailed answers. I use FTP's product
- quite happily, I have no need for X.
