[comp.windows.x] Twm on VMS and "Customized DECWterm"

lai@pyrdc.UUCP (Kuo Long Lai ) (06/01/90)

Finally, I am able to run twm(from a SPARC box, not a VMS version. Has anyone 
ported twm to VMS yet?) to manage those DECWterms displayed on a VMS5.3 box.
There are, however, a couple of problems that I ran into:

1.) f.destroy - It destroied all the DECterms that I brought up, when I click on
                any DECWterm.  Note: It works fine on those xterms(brought up 
	        from SPARC) displyed on VMS box.

2.) Occasionally, twm dies while 'Customize' DECWterm is running.

Does anyone have the same experience?
BTW, I customized 3 DECWterms with different attributes and saved
the resources file.  However, every time I logined through Session Manager,
I got the same attributes for all the DECWterms since there they all read
DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULT.DAT.  Does anyone know whether there are ways
to 'customize' DECWterm to read different resources file without manually
order DECWterm to read different resources file? Or what are the resources names
that I may use in DECW$TERMINAL_DEFAULT.DAT to do so? Or using some kind of 
commands to tell which resource file each DECWterm should read automatically?
In addition, I tried to put different fonts(names obtained from
or Little font was taken.  Does anyone have the same problem?

Thanks in advance.

	If you are on VMS 5.3, you can specify different resource files on the
	CREATE/TERMINAL/RESOURCE=filename command.  I use this feature to
	create new DECterms with different title, icon names...
