DEC is rumored to be switching from "UIS" to X for the GPX's and future
machines. Don't know whether this is a good idea - I like the way UIS
does a few things, such as the keyboard binding and the AST support -
but I can see DEC's reasoning. You might see what you can find out
from your salesman or from Athena.
