We are currently running VMS 5.1-1, with NO DECwindows at
all (we do not have any devices capable of supporting
DECwindows).  I have heard that as of VMS 5.2 and 5.3 that
DECwindows is now installed by default.  If we do nothing but
install VMS 5.3 (do not tailor DECwindows off) what are the
effects going to be? Are we going to lose disk space (how
much), are new detached processes started, and if so how
much of a performance hit will they be?
