An open source implementation of the X Window System that has been ported to OS/2 as simply XFree86OS/2, and can be run as an alternative graphical shell or as a task. It is primarily used on UNIX like systems but is available for systems as diverse as embedded microkernel systems, DesqviewX and Microsoft Windows, on OS/2 and MS Windows it is primarily used to simplify the porting of applications from UNIX like systems, so is almost used as a graphics library rather than as a windows system.
