Installing DECwindows
- Mount the OpenVMS installation media (this example assumes
DUA1as the device containing the media):
$ MOUNT/OVER=ID DUA1
- Navigate to the kit:
$ SET DEFAULT DUA1:[DWMOTIF_VAX126.KIT]
- Install the kit:
$ PRODUCT INSTALL *
Establishing Remote Display
- On a remote UNIX system having Xephyr installed, run the following command (you can change
1200x800to your preferred resolution):
$ Xephyr -ac -listen tcp -screen 1200x800 :1
- On the VMS system, create the display (
<xephyr-ip>represents the IP address of the system running Xephyr):
$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=<xephyr-ip>/TRANSPORT=TCPIP/SERVER=1
Note that /SERVER=1 in the DCL command correlates to the :1 in the Xephyr command.
Launching DECterm
If all you want is a DEC terminal with no window manager or extra fluff, type the following command in VMS DCL:
$ CREATE/TERM/DETACH
Launching Full DECwindows
If you want to get the full DECwindows experience, type the following command in VMS DCL:
$ RUN SYS$SYSTEM:DECW$STARTLOGIN.EXE
The DECwindows login should appear in your Xephyr window.
