Is there such a thing as a null display? I'ld like run a decwindows
application on a machine that has decwindows but has no display
devices. I know I won't be able to get any input events.

I don't know of anything like a null display. What DECwindows routines
would you want to use without a display?

I would use it for testing. I could test whether or not I was using
the CLIPBOARD correctly, whether I was dealing with the GLOBAL
SELECTION correctly, etc. There are lots of things I could test
that don't depend upon the image on the display.

DEC/Test Manager currently has working a version of a monochrome Xserver that does not require a display device. DTM's server, instead of using video memory for output, allocates a chunk of regular memory and uses this to produce screen images. This server may be run on any VAX with or without a display device. This server might be used for your purposes, especially if you want to run your tests in batch. | |||||
