DECwindows V2 has the facility to put up a site-specific display on the
DECwindows login screen.
Has anyone yet produced a general purpose program to take advantage of
this feature ? For example, it would be nice to be able to specify
a DDIF file, and a position on the screen to display it.
I know I could always write my own, however I am *not* a graphics
programmer, nor do I have time to become one !

I've never tried this, so it might be naive to say this, but: won't VIEW work? The login background mechanism creates a process that executes a .COM file, so if the .COM file contained something like VIEW/xxxx, wouldn't it all be marvy? | |||||
