I think it is the SUN proprietary windowing system NeWS(did I get the silly
caps right? :-) is what was in question.  That is, the SUN-proprietary-
windowing-system-that-you-must-write-your-own-driver-NeWS.  I have heard
people porting it to QVSS and SM devices.(They did it themselves.)

If you can not get it from someone else(perhaps on the net?), you'll have
to write it.  In this case you may wish to wait for X11R4 stuff to come in.
X11R4 should have the server for the DECstation that you can steal.
