2617.0. "TCP/IP to UNIX X-windows ?" by UTRTSC::VELZEN (Pim van Velzen, CS/SSO Holland.) Tue Apr 17 1990 05:54

The V5.3 DECwindows SSA states :

Decwindows applications can be accessed across the network by workstations
that have provided implementations that are consistent with MIT X11 R3 speci-
fications. Similarly, DECwindows workstations can access remote X applications
that follow the same guidelines.

Does this also mean that when TCP/IP is used as the transport protocol (with
UCX V1.2) that other UNIX X-windows can be accessed and vice versa ?

Regards, Pim.

	You are correct. DECwindows works equally well over DECnet and TCP/IP (with UCX V1.2). The only functional difference is that you cannot specify the user name in the Customize Security menu when using TCP/IP as the transport. Note that when using DECwindows applications with a UNIX X-server, the server must have the MIT X11 R4 fonts installed, and also the fonts.alias file from note 2509. Note 2509 tells which fonts from MIT X11 R4 must be installed.
