Witam.

 Mam takie pytanie: czy jest mozliwe uruchamianie programow VMS-owych
pisanych pod DECWindowsy, tak aby ekran byl wyswietlany na unixowym
X serwerze? W dokumentacji znalazlem niesmiale wzmianki, ze da sie
to zrobic, o ile tym unixem jest Ultrix, natomiast moje proby ze
stacja linuxowa spelzly na niczym (program nie moze otworzyc displaya,
mimo ze xhost na linuxie jest ustawiony poprawnie). Moze protokol
DEC Windows jest niekompatybilny z X?
Jesli ktos ma z tym jakies doswiadczenia, bardzo prosze o informacje.

DECWindows fonts questions

Greetings,

I have a VAXstation 3100 at work (poor old thing!) with DECWindows running
on a VAX box.  I was trying to install Cyrillic fonts on it... I got the
fonts designed for Xwindows in bdf format and converted them to
decw$font, ran mkfontdir, added the directory to the fontpath, rehashed
the fonts.  The applications (I'm particularly interested in doing this
for DECterm) can see the fonts I installed, but for some reason cannnot
load them.  I even got an Xterm port for VMS and installed it.  It's
having the same problem...

I was able to do this in Unix / Xwindows easily, and I thought  that
DECWindows was supposed to be pretty close to X.  What am I doing wrong?

I tried disguising my koi8 fonts as iso8859-1 in decw$font_alias.dat file,
annd taking the standard fonts directory away from the font path...  It
sort of worked - the xserver had to choice :).  Some Cyrillic characters
were still displayed incorrectly.  Anyway, that was not a very elegant
solution.

Another question I had was this: 
Is it possible to switch keyboard layouts without running xmodmap every
time? And/or to change the keyboard layout for a specific application
without affecting the other ones?

If you had the patience to read this far and have answers my questions,
comments, suggestions, please reply by e-mail -- I don't normally read
Usenet. Any input will be appreciated.

Thanks,
		Sergei

	Check out sys$manager:decw$define_lang.com:
SYS$COMMON:[SYSMGR]DECW$DEFINE_LANG.COM;1

$define/nolog/table=decw$logical_names/exec lang "ru_RU"
$define/nolog/table=decw$logical_names/exec xnl$lang "ru_RU"

	In desktop manager you must select "keyboard mapper", checkout:
sys$login:DECW$SMB_KEYBOARD.DAT
keyboard_dialect:       RUSSIAN_PCXALLT

sys$login:DECW$SMB_LANGUAGE.DAT

sm.versionid:   3.0
*xnlLanguage:   ru_RU.ISO8859-5
