1462.0. "DW Apps and FileView" by RTPSWS::MCMULLEN () Tue Sep 19 1989 14:31

I tried submitting this in the Fileview notesfile with no answer. Any help
would be appreciated. The customer wants an explanation.

    I've run into an interesting situation with Ultrix FileView and a third
    party application. The application is an IBM 3270 emulator that works
    over TCP/IP. The application uses a DecWindows interface with a list
    box for selecting hosts and maintaining host lists. The application
    works just fine when invoked from a decterm window or when started
    up via the crontab. However if you try to exec it from FileView, the
    task gets a memory fault error on a DS3100 and a VS3100 running Ultrix.
    The application never gets a chance to execute.
    
    Has anyone seen this before and/or know a fix to make it work? Its
    interesting to note that if the customer execs the following command
    it works:
    
    	exec xterm -e tnsh <-- application name.
    
    As long as its invoked from a terminal window it works.
    
    Any help appreciated.

    I will. I was only wondering if anyone had seen the behaviour before.
    Thanks for the response.
