Is there anybody out there who can explain the main difference between
DECWindows and XWindows??

So far I have been able to note that DECWindows calls differ from XWindows
calls in some functions, and that you can run XWindow-programs in a
DECWindows environment, but not the other way. Am I right, or am I right?

I have also seen a 'layer-description' of DECWindows that shows the
relations between the layers DECWindow Toolbox Intrinsics, DECWindow Library
etc, etc. Is there any corresponding for XWindows?

No flames please! ;-)
Thanks!
