This is not "You are using Motif and the motif window manager within DECwindows." You can run XUI (DECwindows), motif, and MIT applications all off the same server. You can also run most any window manager. It is the library that was used to build the application that specifies which UI the application uses. DECs server's are X servers, as is the MIT sample server. DECwindows is Digital's name for its X11 product. It includes, amongst other things, X servers, a toolkit, a style guide, a session manager, a window manager, and a set of OOTB applications. Applications that use the XUI (or DECwindows) toolbox are DECwindows aplications. ************************************************************* Chad Leigh Brigham Young University / on leave from DEC chad@yvax.byu.edu / chad@norge.enet.dec.com *************************************************************
