68.0. "TEKTRONICS terminal emulators?" by ARTUD2::DEMPSTER () Mon Jan 30 1989 17:36

    Does anyone know of plans/products providing TEK 4XXX emulation
    (preferably the most "up to date" rather than what is now available
    under UIS) under DECwindows?  There are some people out here that
    will take a few years to catch the "wave" of XUI and need interium
    TE's to bridge to existing applications/systems (and not have 2
    boxes on their desk's).

    Help with this low TEK question appreciated.

    Huh?  Considering that there are *no* DECwindows TEK emulators, you
    got a lotta nerve with the comment about UIS :-), which has both
    4010/14 and a 4125 shipping (SDC submit) with V4.1 in a couple weeks.
    
    But if you must, contact Eric Osman who is porting a X11 version
    of the 4125 to DECwindows (geeze, I didn't think you had to "port"
    X11 to DECwindows... :-)

    Fred,
    
    I would'nt have been so angry, but for my two cents;
    
    In your private mail message to hannah::osman ask him if there are
    any notesfiles on the subject, and where they might be located.
    
    Yes VWS is far more mature, and it has more history. But I can remember
    quite a few empassioned pleas for terminal emulators (outside TEK41xx
    also) even prior to version 3.x. I even called you a couple times
    asking for folks to talk to, and thankfully you came through as
    you have again in this case (if somewhat more impatient).
    
    Regards,
