This file is intended to list X servers that can be used on non-UNIX networked
machines to display X clients running on UNIX machines.  I use the name UNIX
loosely here.  I know others can run X.

The sources for this information come from many places:  the FAQ for
comp.windows.x, blurbs and info packets from the vendors, user manuals for
the products themselves, conversations with sales representatives, personal
experience, comp.windows.x articles, etc.

Please forward any corrections or updated to the above address.
