At an AT&T SVR4 seminar some time ago, I received literature
that specified that X/NeWS was to be the standard window
server for SVR4.  And that OLIT (nee Xt+), XVIEW and TNT 
(NeWS-based OPENLOOK) were the standard OPENLOOK toolkits available.

(side note: I received a snail mail flyer from Microport 
recently touting their PC-based SVR4 port.  On it they say they 
are including X/NeWS.)
