    Sun use to link several SunView applications into one executable,

    branch of the executable. Therefore 5 different programs were
    really one, and only required one copy in memory.  I don't know if
    this could be done with common DECwindows applications.

If I remember correctly, dxwm, dxuil, dxterm, dxsession, and one other
program were actually all the same program under some version of RISC
Ultrix (probably 2.2).
