There was, many years ago, a port of X Window from Unix to DOS, known as
X-Appeal.
One could download a crippled version or pay $199 for the full, working (?)
version.
I never tried it.
That was in the days before broadband internet was so widely available, and one
could buy a CD Set for Linu
I should get my vp2os3 dos menu shell recompiled and working again. It
kinda looks like win95 in text mode.

Thanks for the help everyone. I have done a bit of reading (thus the thread about 2 help sites) and find that my knowledge was incomplete (it is only less incomplete now).
I see now that there are a number of later drivers which should be used instead of xcdrom.sys.

Hi,
I have used Arachne for many years without any problems. Then
some time ago, for no apparent reason, it began to lock when
loading images. (It still works normally for text.)
Error messages are of the type:
Page fault cr2=1002 at eio=11f0

Hi Eric,
"Windows is much more than a GUI. There are also 1000s of

about 90 percent functional. It would be nice to have a completely open

Hi Bill
If I recall correctly, the willybilly 1.0.7a help pages are an
