Hummingbird Exceed goes for $545, so that is out for most of our users.
Thanks for the info on cygwin. Apparently the relevant cygwin
functionality is "rootless mode" and is still experimental. All X
windows appear over any Windows windows, but that is acceptable. A
search found some information on how to set it up at
http://sourceforge.net/project/shownotes.php?release_id=144322. I will
have to try it. Has anyone else tried it?
