Devin,

with respect, since 4.2A, I believe that the following is the situation:


   RISC                                                               Xws(8X)

   Name
     Xws - 2D X server for RISC machines

   Syntax
     Xws [ options ]

   Description

     The Xws command starts the X server.  The Xws command supports the fol-
     lowing hardware configurations:

     DECstation 3100 Single Screen Color Workstations
     DECstation 3100 Single Screen Monochrome Workstations
     DECstation 5000 Series Single Screen 2D Color Workstations
     DECstation 5000 Series Single Screen Monochrome Workstations
     DECstation 5000 Series Multiscreen 2D Color Workstations
     DECstation 5000 Series Multiscreen Monochrome Workstations

Taken from the man pages for Xws. A 2D Color (Colour) Workstation is a PX or HX
based machine.
