I just joined this list and have some questions on the VAX Station II/GPX
we just received.
1. We have 3Com and DECNET networks, which will be bridged together with
a DEC bridge. The VAX Station will be connected to the DECNET. Is
there a way I can print files (text & graphics), using the Apple Laser
on the 3Com network? Since DEC supports PostScript, it seems like you
should be able to.
2. Are there public domain graphics programs for VAX Station II that I can
download? I understand there is a DEC User Group (DECUS?). How do I
join? Is there a central depository, where public domain files/programs
can be FTPed?
3. The SIGHT.EXE graphics editor that came with VAX Station II installation
tape looks very impressive. Is the source available?
4. We will be installing KERMIT on the VAX Station for file trnasfers
between our IBM PC's and VAX Station. Are there other utilities
people would recommend for software developers (not system managers).
Thanks in advance for any info you can provide!
