	Nope.

	The only X client port of acad is on the DECstation. (The
	optimized version for the DS5000 _screams_!!)

	I have heard this from reliable sources (I work for an acad
	dealer).

	At the present time there are no others in the works. They 
	_may_ think there is not much demand. If you'd like to see a 
	port of acad to run in X under UNIX on a 3/486, tell your 
	local dealer & write to ADESK. If enough people make noise, it 
	may speed it up. They are plenty busy preparing release 11 
	for 4Q90.
