2657.0. "AUTOCAD Decstation/ vms connection" by PACKER::JOHN () Wed Apr 25 1990 12:59

    I want to use AUTOCAD on my office But also nead decwindows!. since
    AUTOCAD is not suported under Decwindows VMS but is supported on
    the DECstation 3100 under decwindow. could I run Autocad on a 
    say decstation 3100 or 5000as a server and allow users on the VMS
    cluster running Decwindows to set host to the Decstation and run 
    AUTOCAD.  
    
    Will this work??
    If so would the 5000 suport say 6 users run auotcad at the same time?
     after all it has as more mips as my 8800?
    
    thanks for any input

    It may also be possible to use the VWS version of AUTOCAD on your
    VMS/DECwindows workstation IF you can live with a MONO only version
    for a while.  The UISX product will allow "most" VWS applications
    to work on VMS/X11 -- BUT the color version of AUTOCAD uses the DOP
    interface which is NOT supported.
    
    See the UISX conference on VWSENG::

    AutoCAD under RISC/ULTRIX  should display fine on any ws running 
    an X11 server..
