I am in the process of porting some GKS aplications from
VWS to DECwindows. I have installed the following:
VMS 5.3
DECW 2.0
GKS 4.1
The problem i had was with GKS when running IVP and
also with a CLOSE_WS statement. In both cases
i was getting an ACCVIO ( memory menagement violation)
stuck dump.
I read the GKS notes and the same problem was listed in there.
They say that the problem is (was) with decwindows v2.0
and was supposed to have been fix with the SSB release.
Farthermore, i was told by my local distribution people that
the version of decwindows that i got is supposed to be
the SSB release.
Can someone help me out of this mess ???
Peter.

Well the fix didn't quite make it... What your seeing is a problem with CLOSE_WS and the Local transport. The same thing happens with PHIGS. This has been fixed in V5.3-1 which should be available as FT. The two suggested work arounds are: 1) Use a non-local transport such as DECnet. 2) Live with the ACCVIO on a CLOSE_WS call. Hope this helps... -=> Jim <=- | |||||

Jim,
Thanks for the reply. Although i dont know much about local
transport i am the process of asking questions. Do you know
if V5.3-1 field test is available right now ?? If not, do
you have any idea as to when ??.
Also could you give any information as to how i switch
from local transport to DECNET.
Thanks.
Peter.
