Leeds-based VisionWare Ltd’s XVision software, which enables an MS-DOS personal computer to serve as a local area network workstation and as a Unix-based X Window server, is now available from Unix specialist house Sphinx Ltd, Maidenhead, Berkshire. XVision enables both MS-DOS and X Window applications to be viewed on the console at once – the personal computer users can access both environments from within Microsoft’s Windows graphical user interface. Installed on the micro, XVision supports TCP/IP, can host window managers such as OSF/Motif or Open Look, and will run alongside VisionWare’s PC-Connect, enabling users to add X Window transparently; it costs UKP350.
