2685.0. "Is it distributed or not really ???" by BERKLY::JOSEPH_BO (Win agreements, not arguments) Mon Apr 30 1990 15:04

Greeting all,
    
    	I have DECwrite running on my system (3200 running VMS V5.3).
    I'd like an other colleague of mine to also have access to DECwrite
    from HIS MACHINE... He''s also running VMS V5.3 , but he does not
    have DECwrite installed on his system.
    
    I gave an account on my system. But when he tried to set host to
    my system to run DECwrite, he kept getting an error msg (some kind
    of toolkit fatal error msge...)
    
    Is DECwrite one of our distributed tool ? Can someone else
    use  DECwrite from my system without having to be physically on
    my WS.
    
    Using the SET DISPL/CREATE/NODE=nodename, I  start DECwrite from
    my workstation and display it on his system. But , I have to go
    PHYSICALLY go to my system and LOGIN under his username to make
    it work.  
    
    Am I doing something wrong ???
    
    WhY is ''SET HOST'' From that colleague's system to mine NOT working?
    
    Thanks in advance for your help/support
                                                                         

When your associate loggs into your WS, does he do a SET/DISPLAY/CREA back
to his WS? He would have to do this.
