I'm running VMS 4.5 and VWS 3.2 on a VAXstation II (no >GPX) and just tried what you suggested. I defined >UIS$VT_ENABLE_LIVE_ICON to "True" and it didn't work, even after >getting rid of all of my 220 windows. > >When we have a shrunk icon that gets new data, the words "NEW DATA" >appear in the icon. This is the case whether or not the logical is >defined. This is NOT in 3.0, but is in 3.2. I have had the same problem but after I had made a dump of UIS$VT200_PME.EXE I found out that I also had to make the following assignment: DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXEC UIS$VT_USE_FAKE_ICONS TRUE After this assignment you get the promised 'LIVE ICONS' on a VAXstation II and a VAXstation 2000.
