Also there is a firmware dump for the HP 700/70 which implemented it: https://bitsavers.org/pdf/hp/terminal/700/HP_700_70_C1093/

Likewise for the Televideo 995-65: http://bitsavers.org/pdf/televideo/995/firmware/

I got Desqview/X running about 25 years ago on some Everex. An X Terminal that ran win16 software - Useless but fascinating.

IIRC there was some additional minimal runtime stuff like perl/awk/sed that came with it kinda like MinGW later on
