I used an X11 version on some Unix variant a long time ago - possibly
IRIX, but it may have been the DEC one (or both.) This was several years
before they released the WINE based thing you are talking about, which I
believe was Linux only. In fact, I think there was a Linux version of
the "native" X11 port, too - then they replaced it with the wine variant
to avoid maintaining so many different branches of the code, or
something. (BAAAD decision...)
