2347.0. "MIT Utilities on VMS" by PRIMES::UEBERSAX (Kris, Primes DWT Sales Supp., Md.) Sun Feb 25 1990 00:26

    
    I have a customer who needs some of the MIT utilities such as XPalette.
    
    Are these available for use on VMS DECwindows?
    
    Thanks.

2347.1	No central place	DECWIN::FISHER	Burns Fisher 381-1466, ZKO3-4/W23	`Tue Mar 06 1990 15:09`	12
	Some people have ported some of them, but so far as I know, there is no central repository of MIT utilities. I suggest you get an MIT tape (or have the customer do so) and port what you want. As someone in a recent note said, there are very few X incompatibilities. It is mostly a standard Unix/VMS port job (most frequently stuff like bcopy, bzero, etc and select. The b* stuff will be in DECW$EXAMPLES on VMS V5.4. select you have to deal with on a case by case basis. Burns
2347.2	Major parts are available outside of DEC	CVG::PETTENGILL	mulp	`Thu Mar 08 1990 23:56`	5
	Someone on outside of DEC has converted a lot of the X11R3 kit for VMS; I don't recall where I saw that announced; try the dwexamples or X conferences. I have that software as of December which I can make available in a saveset if needed. However, XPallete doesn't appear to be one of the things in this collection.
