- Interesting. Isn't it true, though, that other vendors (like Hummingbird)
- have had X emulators in general (DOS/Windows) longer? And I think I saw
- an article not too long ago that _didn't_ have X-Vision at the top of
- the Windows 3.1 emulators in terms of features/functionality. An example
- is in cut/paste abilities between MS Windows and X-Windows, and RSH/REXEC
- features.
-
- I don't want to create any kind of war here, I just want to make sure that
- we don't present biased opinions and steer people in potentially wrong
- directions simply because of a corporate loyalty! :^)
-
- I would be very interested to see a recent article comparing the latest
- versions of X-emulators for Windows 3.1, as I am at some point probably
- going to need to look at this again.
