1746.0. "nmcc,child,decwindows and fonts..." by POWDAH::BUCKLEY (ski fast,take chances,die young) Wed Nov 15 1989 15:05

I am still trying to get two windows on a workstation to monitor dcm and nmcc 
using vaxstation II/gpx. I've given up on creating windows on startup (file
not found sys$input errors, couldn't seem to get child to reconize the device)
so now I'm logging in with @child.com in my decw$sylogin.com file. Both screens
come up correctly and dcm looks great, but nmcc doesn't do the default command
and all of the text Within the map (show net map cond) is missing the last 
column(s) of every character -- N looks like an upside down V. Any ideas??
(if I type nmcc into an existing window the characters are ok)

Child.com follows:

$ child/place=top/detach/nofocus/line/noinsert/decW/pause=10/nopass/uaf -
	/page=24/ix=3/iy=1/x=0/y=35/image=sys$system:loginout.exe -
	/ititle="dcm"/process="@dcm"/title="dcm"
$ child/place=bottom/detach/nofocus/line/noinsert/decw/pause=10/nopass/uaf -
	/page=24/ix=18/iy=1/x=350/y=450/image=sys$system:loginout.exe -
	/ititle="nmcc"/process="@nmcc"/title="nmcc" 
(I've also tried /regis and /decterm instead of /decwindows)

NMCC.com follows:

$!define/user sys$input sys$command
$nmcc show net map cond

Code in sylogin.com so child works correctly...

$!special code to accomidate child in the automatic creation of dcm and 
$!nmcc windows on the terminal

/PLACE=TOP and /NOFOCUS apply to VWS only.

/LINE/NOINSERT contradict /DETACH/IMAGE=SYS$SYSTEM:LOGINOUT.EXE. 
loginout will override all of your terminal type qualifiers, and since
this requires a channel, it messes up the device ownership on the
created process.

/DECW is most likely the default.

/REGIS and /DECTERM are terminal type qualifiers, so see comments above
regarding DCM.

Try doing a SET TERM/INQ in your NMCC.COM and your DCM.COM.  Your
symptoms seem pretty strange.
