Hello,
One of our customer has a VAX system running VMS 5.5. His application is
PASCAL calling Plot Ten routines. He had graphic stations from Tektronix
connected to his system. He wants to upgrade them now to X Terminals. This
means that he would have to re-write his software to include X protocols and
routines to work with X which he has already planned for. My questions are :
Does Digital have a software to include or convert his application - PASCAL
to work in an X environment? Generally PASCAL comes with it's own Windows
Manager which does this job. It is common knowledge that OLWM for PASCAL on
the VMS platform is a Digital product. Can this product do the job? If not
which is the other software capable of doing so? Our X Terminals system can
connect to any platform and OS as long as the applications have X protocols
and routines built-in. It can connect to a DEC with VMS or a VAX with VMS to
be precise.
Any suggestion ???
Tks n Regards,
Prem

Yes, DEC Pascal can call DECwindows routines.
I thought that Digital had a Tek40xx terminal emulator. You might want
to check out that option to keep the customer from having to replace
the PlotTen routines with X/Motif routines. I don't know of a easy
way to convert them, but you should ask in the BULOVA::DECWINDOWS
conference. You'll get more help there.
As for "It is common knowledge that OLWM for PASCAL on the VMS platform
is a Digital product.". I've never heard of OLWM. Can you explain
that to me?
