Conference bulova::decw_jan-89_to_nov-90

        There is no flight simulator supplied with VWS. There is a Lunar
        lander program in the demo saveset. If they have  a "flight
        simulator" then someone has released internal use only software to
        them, and should have their... Never Mind...
        
        I am currently trying to "champion" a customer available
        distribution of amusements/demonstrations etc. Contact me offline
        for more details.
        
        q

amusement??

just curious,
Rocko

There are various notes in this conference and especially in the
DW_EXAMPLES conference about games and amusements and such.  Some that I know
exist are:

	xphoon		- displays a picture of the moon in the screen
			    background
	xfish		- fish swimming around in a window; options to display
			    in the screen background or session pause window
	kaleid		- kaleidoscope patterns (great on color systems)
	chess		- chess game
	othello		- othello game
	solitaire	- plays canfield solitaire card game
	xconq		- "conquest" war game (similar to EMPIRE, but has
			    multi-player option); excellent on color systems
	yadman		- yet another Mandelbrot program
	VMS Mandelbrot	- multi-node Mandelbrot program (VMS only)
	spacewar	- mentioned in a previous note

There are a bunch of others floating around.  Check the notes conferences.

    Besides tha fact that the FLIGHT simulator is an internal use only
    piece of software,  it is available for DECwindows which  is  also
    interal use only.  There is an entire notesfile  dedicated  to  it.
    I believe it is QUEEN::FLIGHT.

    Right.  FLIGHT is an application intended only for internal use at DEC. 
    Customers should not obtain copies.  Feel free to show it to customers
    in a demonstration environment, however.
    
    RE: .0
    
    Do you happen to know how a customer obtained a copy of VWS FLIGHT?

     re .4 "othello"
     
     There was an othello game that I copied to and made
     available from ZFC::, but it doesn't run anymore
     (linked against an incompatible earlier release).
     If anyone has a working version please let me know.

    RE:.-2
    
    I don't know how he got the flight simulator. As far as I was aware
    he got it with his VAXstation and I assumed that it was supplied
    with VWS. (my mistake). I suppose it would be in all interests to
    inform him that the flight simulator doesn't run under DECwindows
    and won't and let it rest at that.
    
    Mark

	Don't tell him it doesn't run on DECwindows. We showed the Flight 
	simulator at DECUS running under DECwindows. You'd only embarrass
	yourself if you told him that it didn't run. Just tell him that
	it's not available to customers at this time and if he makes a
	stink, then as DECwindows product management to see about getting
	Flight made available.

    Not being careful, we've probably had people make copies at DECUS, and
    I'm sure there is the occasional person in the field who has allowed
    somebody to get it.
    
    The VWS group isn't too upset about it, and it's prime author (John)
    has agreed to allow us to ship a version at a later date on the DEMO
    disk and when a certain engineer has time it will probably show up
    in a limited variant (without the compilers, etc).
    
    I think it'd be a neat idea  if someone made the DECwindows version
    available...
    
    

    Since no one actually mentions how to get a copy of this very
    interesting game I have a request.  The Naval Air Station at Miramar,
    California ("Top Gun") has an upcomming air show at which we are
    planning a mini trade show showing some of our desktop platforms.
     We are looking for applications to help draw and hold a crowd.
     This sounds like the ticket.  Can some one reply here or send me
    mail as to how I can get a copy for this demo.

    Look in the conference QUEEN::FLIGHT and ask those folks.
    

    Thanks.  Saw the refrence to the Flight conference and should have
    looked there first but it was late at night.  I think it will really
    be a hit at the air show.
    
    Tom H

	Also, send mail to the devo, John EPIK::BUEHLER. I'm sure he'd
	be really interested in this, including ANY feedback from the
	people at Top Gun.
