1. It's "X," "X11," or "X Window System."  There's no such thing as
"X Windows" unless you count Wine.
2. You could use DirectXFree86.  XFree86 4 has been ported to Windows
NT and (possibly) Windows Me.  (The NT version works on Windows 2000
but DJGPP programs generally don't.) It doesn't work on Windows 95 or
98 because of 2-bit bugs in the 16-bit kernel and 16-bit GDI that a
32-bit X server has trouble working around.  Volunteers are welcome:
