  I tried to open the DEC fancy calendar program people have been
  talking about on my Sun screen, but it failed badly. Does anybody know why?

Dxcalendar will bail out with a "Name" error if there is no font with the
name "decw$cursor" on the server. That name is hardwired into the code.
The R4 release contains a copy of deccurs.bdf. When you get the release,
if you can compile that font and make it available to your server, you
should have better luck.
