840.0. "EYES for customers?" by 34870::HOHMD (Dale Hohm, on site @PDS 515-270-3945) Wed May 24 1989 15:29

I received a request from a customer today to try and get a copy of the
DECwindows "EYES" demo that was shown at DECUS...

Anyone know if that is available or if there is a repository of "stuff" for
customer consumption?

thanks,

- Dale

        The eyes demo is actually from the MIT X11R3 Kit. A VMS Working
        version was posted in note 45 of the ELKTRA::DW_EXamples notes
        conference. I would suggest that you get the O.K. of the person
        who posted it there before even thinking about giving it to
        customers.
        
        THere is no repository for Customer stuff apart from the
        decw$examples: directory that exists on every Decwindows. Moves
        are being made to make more "demo" code available, but not just
        yet.
        
        Your Customer could also get a MIT distribution kit, and/or get a
        usenet connection and subscribe to the comp.sources.x newsgroup.

I would like to make an appeal to all VMS hackers who altered MIT stuff to 
work on VMS:

PLEASE GET PERMISSION AND SUBMIT YOUR CHANGES (IFDEF'ED FOR VMS) BACK TO MIT!!!

This way, customers who get the MIT stuff can benefit from the "examples" 
from MIT on VMS systems as well.
