As I remember/heard right, at the beginning, Frank did the
crossfire to learn X programming :)

But why not. As I have ever seen X11 is best device
independent graphic window inteface what exist.

And for Amigas, PCs, Macs etc, are available numerous servers
and library toolkits. X does not really mean unix. And I think
in porting it's more question of porting unix features to the
target machine than X features. For example, the select()
system call in DOS, ... make my day :)
