You can do the same thing with xnews.  I package the call to start
the server in a script (sunX):

#!/bin/sh
OPENWINHOME=${OPENWINHOME:-"/import/openwin"}
export OPENWINHOME
X11ONLY=t
export X11ONLY
LD_LIBRARY_PATH="${OPENWINHOME}/lib:${LD_LIBRARY_PATH:-/usr/lib}"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
PATH=${PATH}:${OPENWINHOME}/bin
export PATH
exec xnews

then use

	xinit myxtools -- sunX

to start the server.
