Yes (VS4000-VLC's too). DEC sells a product called EWS. I think it's cheap. It
is an X server based on their ELN real-time OS. It is down-line loaded into the
workstation over the net when the WS tries to boot (I think either A VMS or
Ultrix load host is supported). It works a bit different than most X terms. When
it boots it displays a login box that lets you log into the host designated for
that terminal, and that host will run your session manager and window manager.
From there on, of course, you can launch clients from anywhere. But this is
different than other X terms where you have a telnet or LAT window that you can
connect anywhere to get your session started.

It may work differently in an Ultrix environment, I'm more familiar with VMS.

I've never used this product, but I hear the 2000 makes an acceptable X term,
though it is a dog as a workstation. Dec's own X terms actually run this
software. A VT1300 (I think that's right) is just a VS3100 running EWS. You can
upgrade it to a real VS3100, and I think all that is involved is licensing an OS
for it.

Hello People,

I have found somewhere a program called "xtalk". It seemed a nice program
to have, BUT, we don't have BSD here. We are running on a HP9000-730
under HPUX 8.07, which is some kind of SYSV UNIX.
Does there exist a similar program as xtalk for SYSV somewhere?

Any info appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

You'll need a software package called VAXELN Window Server plus some kind
of TCPIP transport with windows support to go to the Sun.  The software
resides on a Vax and downloads to the Vax 2000 or 3100.

Organization: NASA Lewis Research Center
Date:  6 Oct 1992 09:03 EDT  

A question about X-terminal software on PC's.

I have been trying to use Quarterdeck's DeskViewX on a 386 40 MHz PC.  I
use FTP Software's PCTCP V2.05 pl4 as the TCP/IP kernel on top of an NDIS
driver for an SMC 8013 EWC ehternet card.  I use either the OPEN LOOK or
the DeskViewX window manager setup.

I either telnet or rexec to a SUN SPARC 2 running OPEN WINDOWS.  I then
start up PV-WAVE version 4.0 (command line version).  When I execute a
WAVE program that creates an Xwindow and writes a digital video image to
it,  the PC/DeskViewX display (under the best setup circumstance I can
find => sufficient display resolution) the right hand 1/3rd of the
circular image is blanked in the display.  I am not getting any
significant technical support from QuarterDeck to pinpoint the source of
the problem.

My questions to the world are:

Has anyone else met a similar problem with DeskViewX or PV-WAVE?

Do you know of a better X-terminal emulator for PC's (perhaps even tested
with PV-WAVE)?

Thanks for any help,  Please reply to my e-mail listed below address directly.

Has anybody successfully installed xcomm (X-based talk program) so
that it is compatible with the BSD talk?  In particular, I would like
to answer with xcomm a request sent by regular talk.

The instructions say to replace talkd with xcommd.  This has to be
done in /etc/inetd.conf, if I understand correctly, and xcomm/xcommd
have to be compiled using 517 as the service number.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Doesn't matter wheather Sys V or BSD Unix. You have to download
the source codes from one of following ftp site and compile the codes
by yourself. Besides, Douglas Young he wrote a xtalk program in his
book "Window System Programming and Applications With Xt OSF/Motif
Edition" at chapter 11. All you need is get the book and codes, compile
by yourself.

Everybody knows that xterm simulates a vt102.  Everybody who's read the
xterm man page also knows that xterms support Tektronics 4014 graphics.
Nobody I know has ever seen, or knows anybody who's seen, an X app that
actually generates 4014 graphics.  Such an app would be nearly
universally usable, since it could run in any xterm.  Do such apps
exist?  Are they useful?  How would one go about writing such an app?
(In other words, where would one look for specs on 4014 capabilities?)
There must have been _some_ reason why xterms were written to support
4014s, eh?

Just curious,

Although it is not just a graphing program, the real-time spreadsheet 
Xess can update graphs several times a second as data is passed to the 
worksheet.  It can also display multiple graphs and update them using 
different parts of your data or calculations.

Send an e-mail to "info@ais.com" for help in analyzing your needs.

There is also the Andrew Toolkit. But its not only a Mail program, its
text-processing, spreadsheet and much more. And its large. Compressed
tar is 13 MBytes.

  I've tried to get Xscribble (alpha-5 release) running on my office Sparc.
I used the current xpm libraaries and the current FWF widgets.  I'm running
Xsun from X11R5.  The Computer is running SunOS 4.1.2, and Xscribble and
the X window system were both compiled using GCC-2.2.   Now when I run the
proggy, I get 'Error: widget filler has zero height/width.'  Not having
Xt experience, this is a mystery.  Has anyone out there any clue what I've
stumbled upon?

Greetings,

	I'm running X11R5-17 on a Sparc running SunOS 4.1.2 and I'm using
twm as the window manager.  I'm trying to get rid of the icon name underneath
all icons (or just one).  Would someone please clue me in on how I might be
able to do this?  Thanks.

The install of xmh was easy, but I couldn't install MH because I had missing
libraries. I've also installed xmail, but this also had problems too. Are
these the only two P.D. X-based mail programs available?
