If you do, please reply via e-mail as well as posting here. 1 - Be sure to have a TCP/IP stack running on your VMS system. It's best if you enable the REXEC service. Otherwise, Telnet will do. 2 - Enable DECwindows to use TCP/IP: edit SYS$MANAGER:DECW$PRIVATE_SERVER_SETUP.COM (if not present, copy from the .TEMPLATE file of the same name). Find the line defining DECW$SERVER_TRANSPORTS and add "TCPIP" (eventually uncommenting it), i.e. $ decw$server_transports == "LOCAL,DECNET,TCPIP" Save it, and restart DECwindows by $ @sys$startup:decw$startup restart (Beware that this kills all open sessions!) 3 - Download X_TCP.COM from my homepage at http://www.pdv-systeme.de/users/martinv/x_tcp.com and store it in the login directory of the user you want eXceed to use. 4- Open the eXceed Xstart utility, fill out the fields appropriately, and Start Method: RExec if you have it, Telnet otherwise Command: @@SYS$LOGIN:X_TCP.COM @D With these settings, you'll get the old (pre-CDE) DECwindows Session Manager. For any other DECwindows application, supply its file name as a second parameter to X_TCP.COM (including the extension - X_TCP.COM recognized .COM and .EXE) And that's it. Usual disclaimers apply: Supplied as-is, no guarantees, etc. Hope it helps, Martin -- One OS to rule them all | Martin Vorlaender | VMS & WNT programmer One OS to find them | work: mv@pdv-systeme.de One OS to bring them all | http://www.pdv-systeme.de/users/martinv/ And in the Darkness bind them.| home: martin@radiogaga.harz.de
