Whoa!  Just because a SunView product runs in OpenWindows, you 
CANNOT assume it will run on any other X-server.

OpenWindows is not only an X-server, it is also a SunView Server
(which is why the SunView program works under OpenWindows) and
a NeWS server, all rolled into one.  Anything that runs under
SunView should also run under OpenWindows; the same is definitely  
NOT true for "pure" X-servers (mwm, uwm, twm, etc).

No pure X-server can run SunView binaries.
