Hi there,
	I am using a DECstation running Ultrix 4.1 and have a number of X-
software that I want to run.  The problem is that they use the root
window and using DECwindows, nothing is displayed when they are run.  From
the small amount of reading in these newsgroups I noticed that there is
often a virtual root window over the read root window and that a file
called vroot.h should be used to access this virtual root window.  My
problem is that this still does not work.  I have ftp'd vroot.h from
other sites and it doesn't work.

	So, can anybody help me out.  I would be very grateful, if somebody
could either point me to a piece of code that will do the above for
me or give me the code 'cos my programming experiance on these systems
is not great.

	Yours gratefully,
			Paul O' Connor.
