I've read somewhere in one of the many voluminous DECwindows manuals
that there is a pseudo terminal driver being used. It also warned that
the users should not use it. My problem is as follows: i've been tring
to use the pseudo terminal PVDRIVER from the toolshed for one of our
testing tools. It was not linked for VMS 5.1. The author seems to have
left the company.
I'd appreciate a pointer to another driver or another VMS 5.1 PVDRIVER.

| 600.1 | PCDRIVER used in DEC/Test Manager | KOBAL::FULLERTON | Mon Apr 17 1989 21:42 | 12 | |
The DEC/Test Manager ( DTM ) uses a Pseudo Terminal Driver, PCDRIVER, which is maintained by DTM for testing of interactive terminal applications. Currently specifications for a VMS supported Pseudo Terminal driver are under development. DTM plans to cease use of its PCDRIVER when and if the VMS driver becomes available. Please contact me if you want more information. George Fullerton CLT::FULLERTON DEC/Test Manager Project Leader | |||||

My experience has been that TW/PY works better. Where does it say I shouldn't use it? It's a great pair of drivers, VMS should have had them ten years ago. | |||||

Jeff,
TW/PY may work better, but users shouldn't count on it being included
with VMS. Eventually the PTY interface will be replaced by a new
scheme currently being worked on in VMS. It should literally blow
the doors off of TW/PY. And of course, it will not be compatable with
the PTY interface.
So users wanting the PTY interface should get it from the PD source
(I think there's a copy from DECUS).
