1323.0. "Monitor size values not useful with 15" monitor" by RHETT::HOYT (No, this is Iowa.) Tue Aug 22 1989 15:44

    Is there any way to for our servers to know whether or not they are
    connected to a 19" or 15" monitor? It seems that WidthMMOfScreen and
    HeightMMOfScreen assume a 19" monitor -- which is bad if you write a
    program that needs screen objects to be a particular size in inches
    or millimeters rather than pixels and you have a 15" monitor.

sys$manager:decw$private_server_setup.com needs to be created from
decw$private_server_setup.template.  This can be used to tell the server
that it is displaying on a 15" monitor.

    Many thanks, but I left out one key fact: I am running on Ultrix, not
    VMS. Is there an Ultrix way of communicating this data? (The VMS data
    is still useful to me.)
