does anyone know how to direct DECterm output to multiple DECterm windows existing on different workstations? the purpose here is to allow someone to watch someone else (on another remote workstation) interacting with a debug session.

There are 3 ways to do this, none real easy: 1. hack DECterm to manage 2 displays 2. hack Xlib to send everything to 2 displays 3. hack the X server to send copies of everything to another server In the long term, the first solution is probably best, as it allows you to customize client semantics for the multi-display application. Meanwhile, I know of several groups trying 2 and 3. One of these is a DEC research lab in Germany. None of these are product quality now, though. Ken | |||||

The DEC prototype is shX, which runs on most Ultrix workstations. It was done in Project NESTOR in Karlsruhe and uses the hacked Xlib approach. Contact Burkhard Neidecker-Lutz, kampus::neidecker. HP tried the hacked server approach. I don't have any contact info and don't know if this code is being distributed. Olivetti may have been trying this, too, but that group was disbanded recently.
