No, I mean REAL DECWindows! ;) On Alpha you can select either DECWindows (I think it's called that, may be DW-MOTIF or something) or CDE. When faced with the option on DEC systems, the original DECWindows is... more authentic :) CDE was somewhat of a late addition as far as I know, I think HP or Compaq grafted it in, probably HP as it's used on HP-UX. I don't think CDE is available on 7.3 VAX... -- Mark Benson http://DECtec.info Twitter: @DECtecInfo HECnet: STAR69::MARK Online Resource & Mailing List for DEC Enthusiasts.

Hello! Correct. I remember seeing it running that way back when HP had demonstration space at their offices here, also before when it was Compaq. When was VMS ported to Alpha? I recall being at the Alpha launch party at the (then) DEC offices here in the city, and saw a box running Windows NT (Alpha) and the man lamented that if too many windows were open the system would slow down. I also recall seeing a MIPS based DEC workstation at the UNIX expos and the DEC chap described the coming NT system for it. Never did anything with that family, but well I kept up to date. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."

Hello! As it happens I actually got it working on Solaris. (X86) My SPARC box that I have here runs without a head, but the VNC screen does good graphics..... Anyway I passed along your good news Sampsa to my LUG, everyone seemed rather pleased. Oh and Mark? Right now there are four odd looking characters watching you. They are also studying Sampsa. ----- Gregg C Levine gregg.drwho8 at gmail.com "This signature fought the Time Wars, time and again."
