ULTRIX V4.0 is available for both VAX and MIPS (RISC) based platforms.
The UWS
or 'workstation software' that you speak of is the pieces needed to be
able to
run a graphics workstation. Without the UWS pieces, you only have a
compute/server
box. As far as Athena stuff, which pieces do you desire? X
widgets/libraries?
Security extensions? Nifty file systems?

	1 and 2:	dxfc <foo.bdf >foo.pcf
			mv foo.pcf /usr/lib/X11/fonts/.../foo.pcf
			dxmkfontdir /usr/lib/X11/fonts/...

	3: I don't know. However, I don't believe that the VT1000 is supported
	   by ULTRIX.

VMS is probably your best bet.
