This one should be a quickie: What is the VMS equivelent for the UNIX command xlsfonts on a VAXStation running DECWindows? (Or if there isn't: How can I determine the available fonts on my machine, short of writing a q&d xlsfonts from scratch?) Thanks, Vince Kraemer nosmo@eiffel.com

Use SHOW LOGICAL DECW$FONT/TABLE=* to get the translation. This will show you were the snf files are, but then you are on your own. /*--------------------------------------------------------------------*/ /* Trevor Taylor E-Mail: TaylorT@decus.com.au */ /* P.O.

VS100). I trick I use to get an "xlsfonts" listing for a VAXstation is to kick off an xterm running on one of the unix platforms on our network and have the display appear on the VAXstation. If you run xlsfonts on the xterm on the VAXstation, you will get a listing of your available fonts. Of course this is only viable if have an available unix platform on your network and you have some sort of TCP/IP available on the VAXstation. Drew Jenkins drew@sunrise.com
