   programs?
c) is there a MIT documentation arround?

d) is there a vax/vms functional- and data compatible equivalent?

There doesn't seem to be any documentation on xwd and xwud in the UWS
doc set.  Both programs come from the MIT X distribution.  xwd dumps an
X window to a file and xwud undumps it (recreates the screen image). 
There are man pages in the MIT distribution.  The xwd file format is
documented in /usr/include/X11/XWDFile.h.

2849.2VMS versions...CVG::PETTENGILLmulpFri Jun 01 1990 21:278
VMS versions are available at
	CVG::SYS$GAMES:[ATHENA_X11.X.CLIENTS.client]
where
	client is one of XWD or XWUD.

If you want to build from source, then you'll need other files in
	CVG::SYS$GAMES:[ATHENA_X11.X...]*.*
