The only way to use the Display PostScript extension on DECstations is to
use the DECwindows server.  However, you should be able to use the client
part of the X11R5 distribution with the DECwindows server without any
problems.  I do it all the time.  I'm not aware of anything the X11R5 server
that is not in the DECwindows server.

Again, you can't use NeWS with the X11R5 server.  However, you can get
an X11R5 server with the Display PostScript extension from ICS.
