Unix Windows (I think the actual program name is "uw") is quite different
from X Windows.  I'm not sure where, but it is already posted on the net.
Perhaps someone else can help?

I think you have your window systems mixed up :-)  There isn't a Un*x side
to the X-Windows program since X-Windows isn't a single program, but a
collection of "clients" that are hardware-independent and a graphics "server"
that is hardware dependent.  "Unix Windows" on the other hand, consists of
a Un*x part and a ST part.
