477.0. "Remote Sessions with V1.0?" by OIWS20::BRYSON () Fri Mar 24 1989 18:57

    Does Version 1.0 of DECwindows official support remote sessions?  I
    know that it works by SET DISPLAY to node X and then performing a
    DECW$STARTLOGIN.EXE (only the server is running on the destination
    node).  The question is do we really support this with v1.0?

	Yes.
477.2	No	DECWIN::FISHER	Burns Fisher 381-1466, ZKO3-4/W23	`Sat Mar 25 1989 23:04`	7
	re .1: Sorry Andy, but No. We support remote clients, but we don't support the session manager running remotely. It sort of works, but there are holes in it.

	That's what I thought, but I just wanted to check. Thanks! David
477.5	DECwindow V2.0?	CGOA01::KREVENCHUK		`Wed Dec 13 1989 16:33`	2
	Does DECwindows V2.0 under VMS 5.3 support a remote session manager running on an X-server?
477.6		STAR::ORGOVAN	Vince Orgovan	`Thu Dec 14 1989 17:49`	4
	Running the session manager remotely is not officially supported, at least on VMS. As far as we know it works. One limitation is that the customization of the Operator Window keys is no-op'ed when running remotely.
