Yes. Define the logical DECW$IGNORE_DECWINDOWS in the startup
file to NOT start DECwindows and then startup DECwindows yourself
by doing:
$ @sys$manager:decw$startup server,libs
This starts the server and installs the libraries. The customer
will then have to do a
$ set display/create/trans=local
to get a display before running his account. Probably want to
do this as com file input to a detached process. Note that if
he wants a window manager he'll have to run that detached as
well (SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$WINMGR.EXE for XUI). Make sure that
he starts DECnet BEFORE DECwindows and that it has completed...

He could:
- have his application call DECtermPort
- have his process (with a CLI) do a LIB$SPAWN or something
to CREATE/TERM (assuming he is at VMS 5.3 or above)
