   Somehowtt i doub it. From what I've heard of EMX, it's libraries try  to
make sockets and file handles look the same, as they are under Unix. Under
OS/2, they're not, so the socket libraries for EMX have an interface that's
slightly different from IBM's. IBM's X Client kit is of course written for
their own socket interface. If you're trying to port a genuine Unix X
Client library, I suppose you'd have an easier time with EMX if the bugs
don't get you (I'm not trying to imply that EMX has too many bugs - I don't
know - but it wouldn't suprise me if EMX were less robust). Academic
interest aside, for me it's not worth the effort to reproduce what IBM's
already done.
