Is that the X Appeal that I saw some time ago? It looked like a crippled demo,
where one would have to pay money for the real (?) thing. That didn't seem
cost-effective, compared to Linux and BSD versions. It didn't have (se)X
Appeal. Maybe somebody could try to port X to DOS with DJGPP. Or do they
figure DOS is dying out, not worth the trouble considering lack of multitasking,
etc?

Not only the lack of good non-bloated mail clients, but IBM Web Explorer and the
problems with PPP.EXE. If IBM had put good Internet applications into
OS/2 Warp 4, I would never have got interested in DOS Internet programs. There
were a a few commercial or shareware email programs for OS/2, but I didn't want
any more of the bloated graphic interface with folders, cryptic file names and
proprietary formats.
