	Which DECstations?  DECstation 3100, 2100, 5000?

From the Motif 1.1 README

       To work around a bug in the MIT X11R4 server for the color
       DECstation 3100 (Xcfbpmax), the default Makefile for mwm
       does not have LARGECURSORS defined.  (It is defined in
       Makefile.hp.)  Normally LARGECURSORS is defined so that mwm
       can use large cursors (32x32) if the X server supports them.
       The MIT DECstation X server answers incorrectly when XQuer-
       yBestCursor is called with a cursor size of 32x32.  The
       server responds that it can display 32x32 cursors, when in
       fact it cannot.
