It's *not* enough to be runing an OPEN LOOK UI [tm] window manager such     as olwm.  Commercial: xps - PostScript program editor and previewer Contact: included with OpenWindows 2.0 under demo and share/src Notes:     Only runs under OpenWindows 2.

Other Products: IsoTeX, IsoFax, Power Base Notes:     An OLIT-based terminal emulator.  I couldn't get the demo version to     give me a shell prompt, although it did look like it was a pretty fll     vt340 emulation, with double-height characters, colour, fonts, grahics     and so forth.

(originally they said 35, but perhaps they meant 3.5)  OpenWindows source is available - commercially, it costs about $5,000 for the server, including TypeScaler and the toolkits; deskset (filemgr etc) is another $25,000; ToolTalk is $40,000 or so.
