Cygnix is available on OS4.

And MorphOS has ixemul.

Which aren't the same thing. Cygnix provides a complete X11 environment, and thanks to this software like Abiword, Gnumeric, Gimp and Amaya have been ported to OS4/Cygnix.

Dind't know that. I remember running a couple of ixemul-compiled programs which opened their own GUI on the Workbench, I didn't know ixemul could open an entire X11 desktop, too. As for the ported X11 programs, I'd be surprised to hear that no one uses at least Abiword and Gnumeric, since they're for now the best office applications available for OS4. I use both to open .doc and .xls files, and they have worked flawlessly on my system so far.
