The answer is no, there isn't. What runs on a mono 1040ST is NeWS Sun's
Network extensible Window System. The port was written by Mitch Bradley.
THIS IS NOT A PRODUCT OF SUN MICROSYSTEMS! It was done as an exercise
to demonstrate how useful NeWS is and why you would want to support it
as your defacto window system. NeWS licenses are very reasonable for 
educational institutions, I suggest you contact Michelle Arden
...!sun!marden and ask her to mail you the details. Licenses get 
source and tips on porting it to different architectures.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
