84.0. "DECwindows overview articles" by SAC::WALL (Disk space... the final frontier.) Tue Jan 31 1989 20:26

    DECwindows is a vast subject and is based on a technology which
    is unfamiliar to many in the field. To gain a complete pictures
    requires reading through many documents. During the course of raising the 
    awareness of DECwindows in the Region I work in, I have written a
    number of articles to provide some background information.
    
    HADRON::DECW:[LR.ARTICLE.] 
                             
    DECW_MGRSUM_ARTICLE
    
    	- Is a very broad overview (7 pages) with little technical content
           
     	(Suitable for managers who do not to spend too long reading
         about it...)                                 
    DECW_MGR_ARTICLE
    
    	- Is a more in depth overview and describes DECwindows at a
    	superficial level
    
    	(Suitable for those who don't want to know about the more technical
    	aspects of DECwindows)
    
    
    DECW_TECH_ARTICLE
    
    	- This as the same material as above but goes into more technical
          detail
 
    	(suitable for SWS specialists etc.)
    
    Much of the technical content of the later document was kindly provided
    by John Parodi who was involved in writing the DECwindows architecture
    overview.
    
    These documents are not intended to replace in anyway the excellent
    documents that are available on DECwindows, they are offered to
    those in the field who may want to help their colleagues or managers
    get upto speed.
    
                                                       
    Some of the material within these documents is not for customer
    consumption so they are all...
    
                      *** COMPANY CONFIDENTIAL ***
    

    I have stripped out the company confidential components of the
    DECW_MGRSUM_ARTICLE and called it DECW_CUST_ARTICLE which should
    be OK to give to customers...
    
    For those interested in the planning of DECwindows within the field
    there is an implications document which might be useful, its in
    
    HADRON""::DECW:[LR.DOCS]DECW_IMPLICATIONS
    
    I have been asked if the sources of these documents can be made
    available so that local issue can be added/changed. I have put these
    in [.SDML] sub directories.
    
    Hope this helps

    Would you please give me the network address of node HADRON, thanks!

     My node (ZFC) and ANCHOR both think HADRON is at 41.296,
     so try 42280:: instead of HADRON::
