I would like to know what's included in "etc".  X11 for my VaxStation2000
running Ultrix cost only the price of the MIT X tape; is NeWS available
for my machine?  Can I then run NeWS clients on a Harris "tahoe"
processor (where I am running most X clients)?  The big bucks you are
mentioning probably refer to "support".  X without support is as cheap
as NeWS.  How good is NeWS supported for non-Sun machines?
