[M3devel] CM3 on windows

[Olaf Wagner]

I don't think Juno and mentor ever worked without an X server.
The Trestle implementation on Windows was never complete nor
stable enough for that AFAIK.

Using the X implementation and an X server on Windows should work
though (but I haven't tried that for years with M3).

Of course it would be great if somebody took care to fix the
Trestle ui package for Windows.

Others please contradict me if I'm out of date here.
