[comp.windows.x] X Clients on VMS ?

lcn@seismo.CSS.GOV@philtis.UUCP (02/23/87)

I am running X V10R3 on a Vaxstation II. I noticed that there is
DecNet support in X and should like to know whether somebody has
succeeded in porting enough of Xlib to VMS to be able to build
clients on VMS hosts.

There are sites with more powerful VMS systems than Unix systems... :-)

A month or so ago, we (the OSU Engineering College) were  treated to a
talk from a seemingly-knowledgeable DEC  workstations person, who said
that part of DEC's committment to X was that they were already working
on VMS implementations of `all the important parts', including servers
for VAXstations under VMS and clients for generic  VMS machines.  Some
of the audience were *very* interested, since there are a lot of VAXen
around here that are still running VMS.
