The only way you may be able to do this is to buy the source license to Ultrix,
which should contain the sources for DECwindows. Using these sources, you would
then figure out how to merge the ddx layer specific to the 5000 series machines
into the "generic X11R4" tree.

In other words, you can't do what you want to without alot of money...

Whats wrong with the server provided with the system? Is it that you just don't
*think* that it is what you want, or do you have *real* problems with it?
