I'm looking for a way to start a 'rolling demo' under Decwindows, but
without the need for a user to login into VMS.
I am thinking of an extra window in the corner of the Decwindows login
screen, which offers some demo-stuff.
Is there anyone who can tell me if this is possible, and how to setup
such a thing.
Maybe there are other solutions to have a rolling demo on a Vaxstation
which is secure enough (e.g. no access to DCL, like captive/restricted
accounts). I'm looking forward to your answer.
Thanks in advance,
Ben Weyn

You can replace the Digital logo which appears before you log in. If
you place this command:
$ DEFINE/SYS/EXEC DECW$LOGIN_BACKGROUND SYS$MANAGER:your-comm-file.COM
in SYSTARTUP_V5.COM, then instead of displaying the Digital logo,
DECwindows will execute your command file in the system account, with
DECW$DISPLAY already setup. So your command file could be:
$ RUN DECW$EXAMPLES:ICO
which would run the examples program, ICO. Or you could run a program
of your choice. Be aware that it does run with full privileges, so it
should be carefully designed so that users can't screw up your system.
