12.0. "Unsupported applications announcements" by DECWIN::FISHER (Burns Fisher 381-1466, ZKO3-4/W23) Thu Jan 26 1989 12:11

    This topic is to be used to provide pointers to unsupported
    DECwindows application kits.  I suggest that you start a topic
    about your applications where questions can be entered.  Then
    enter a reply here with a pointer to the topic where discussion
    can take place, as well as a pointer to the kit itself.  (Yes, I know
    that you could use keywords like "UNSUPPORTED APPLICATION", but no
    one ever remembers to look there.
    
    In any case DON'T ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT THE APPLICATIONS HERE.  Otherwise
    it will just get too long and no one will read it.  Just announcements
    please.
    
    Burns

T.R	Title	User	Personal Name	Date	Lines
12.1	CHILD utility	PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ	Jeff Lomicka	`Thu Feb 02 1989 15:15`	11
	The CHILD utility is discussed in topic 111, please address CHILD questions there. CHILD is available from the toolshed on METOO. Often a newer version is available from PRNSYS::RELEASED_TOOLS:[CHILD]. (For the moment they are the same, release 12.) CHILD is a utility for creating terminal emulators, subprocesses, and detached processes from command files, such as DECW$LOGIN.COM
12.2	VWSLAT utility	QUARK::LIONEL	Ad Astra	`Thu Feb 02 1989 19:07`	12
	The VWSLAT application is discussed in VSG::VWSLAT. VWSLAT is program that allows you to make LAT connections from your workstation to LAT services. Despite its name, it supports both VWS and DECwindows. (I'm just reporting this here as a public service - I have no connection with VWSLAT other than as a satisfied user.) It is important to note that, at present, you cannot have LAT service enabled on your node at the same time as using VWSLAT (can't have outbound and inbound service simultaneously.) Steve
12.3	VWSLAT is in topic 70	PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ	Jeff Lomicka	`Fri Feb 03 1989 10:54`	6
	DECWindiws specific issues about VWSLAT are discussed in topic 70 of this conference. Also in topic 70 is an occasional mention of VWSSSU, which uses the VMS SSU protocol over serial lines to get multiple sessions on a remote host using an ordinary terminal line.
12.4	Let's use keywords!	CIM::KAIRYS	Michael Kairys	`Fri Feb 03 1989 12:42`	3
	I have taken the liberty of creating the keywords CHILD and VWSLAT and adding them to notes 111 and 70, respectively.
12.5	DISKMAP	FUTURA::MCNULTY	Earth: The hostess, not the meal.	`Mon Feb 20 1989 11:45`	11
	Would someone post a pointer to a DISKMAP.EXE that runs on SDC 5.1? I didn't install BLISS support and can't compile a new version of the source at SMAUG::DAVES_BITSHOP: Thanks, Lance
12.6		AXEL::FOLEY	Rebel without a Clue	`Mon Feb 20 1989 17:06`	7
	Use DECPATCH to fix it? I think there is a copy of DECWPATCH in LESLIE::DECW$TOOLS:?? mike
12.7		MU::PORTER	Exiled in Cyberia	`Mon Feb 20 1989 17:09`	10
	To the best of my knowledge, SMAUG::DAVES_BITSHOP:DISKMAP.EXE does run on V5.1. Make sure you get the 10-JAN-1989 version. Let me know by MAIL if it doesn't work for you... it works for me, but I'm running T5.2. dave
12.8	Solitaires	VIA::PRINCIPIO	Nuke the site from orbit.	`Tue Mar 07 1989 17:56`	6
	Solitaires is a further enhancement to David Burleigh's solitaire game. This version includes five separate solitaire games, online help and a hint region. Solitaires is discussed in note 346.
