I've been trying to have my DECwindows software on a VAX (VMS 5.4-2)
display on a Sun SPARC via my DECstation 5200 (Ultrix 3.1D +
Inet<->Dnet). I've compiled the gatethru package, set it up according
to the documentation, but when I run the DECWindows software on the
VMS host, it'll always display on the 5200's console, no matter what
server I set VMS to use.
As I know little about DECnet, I'm stuck. :-(
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated! (other than buying a
TCP/IP for VMS, which I can't do)
Thanx muchly..

Yes, I am running the gatethru stuff (the program is called gatewayd right?), and it does work. Don't forget to set the execute bits on the shell scripts you create (like I did). If the VMS client windows are coming up on the DECstation, chances are the display number is not being set properly in VMS. We had that experience with at least on locally written VMS application (actually a DCL script at the front end) which set the display number to zero.
