	Yes, I use vtwm with VMS DECwindows Motif 1.1.  In fact, (if I
	remember correctly), Motif is required to run twm and vtwm.
	Twm is available via anonymous ftp from public.tgv.com in 
	directory [.mahan].  It is also available in the DECUS
	library.  I may be able to put my copy up for anonymous ftp.
	Let me know if you are interested.
