Hi,
I am considering a DEC RISC station and I have a few, possibly stupid
:-) questions.  I have done some research on SUN stations but I know
little about DEC stations.

1) Is there a readily available TEX/LATEX with a PREVIEWER that works
   with their windowing system?
2) The 3100 seems to me to be inferior to the sparcstation SS1+. Is
   this correct? 
3) In a word, why should I prefer a DEC station to a VAX station? Are they
   superior for the price? Do they have a larger software base?
4) I heard that the DEC windowing system allows me to choose either VMS or
   UNIX. I guess I could not have simultaneously UNIX and VMS windows, or 
   could I?   

Thanks a lot
Eric
