Join the club :-).

Okay, Chain Lee recently posted a set of patches to get X11R4 up under
Xenix.  I believe, though, that the package requires a set of BSD-type
socket-emulation drivers that don't come with the patches.  This info
might be old, though, so don't quote me on it.

Some time ago, I sent mail asking whether Xenix support might be included
for Roell's server.  The answer I got (not from Roell himself) was that
this was quite unlikely.

As you can see, my information is very, very sketchy.  My main reason for
posting is just to offer you what little I have heard, and to ask that
you re-post if you get any really solid information.
