2954.0. "Where is XDPS$DPSLIBSHR.EXE on VMS T5.4-4GE" by FSLENG::JAIN () Tue Jun 19 1990 14:47

	I installed VAX VMS T5.4 - 4GE on a VAX 8250.

	The main purpose for the installation was to have the capability
of displaying PostScript files on a DECwindows terminal.  I was under
the impression that the version of VMS that I installed included the
files to allow XDPS capability.

	I have tried to use the CDA viewer to display PostScript files
but I come up with the following error:
    
    $ set display/create/node=ibr1
    view/interface=decwindows a.ps/format=ps
    
    %DCL-W-ACTIMAGE, error activating image XDPS$DPSLIBSHR
    CLI-E-IMAGEFNF,image file not found [SYS0.SYSCOMMON.]
    					[SYSLIB]XDPS$DPSLIBSHR.EXE
                                        
	I have also tried this by bringing up the CDA viewer directly
but got the same error message.  I was unable to locate the file in any
of the directories on my system disk.  Did I just copy a save_set that
didn't contain the file or am I supposed to install something else
for XDPS capability.

	Thanks in advance for any help regarding XDPS$DPSLIBSHR.EXE

2954.1		QUARK::LIONEL	Free advice is worth every cent	`Tue Jun 19 1990 16:19`	4
	It sounds like you did something unusual during installation. That image is present on my T5.4-4GE system and I didn't install anything "extra". Steve
2954.2	Which saveset is it in?	FSLENG::JAIN		`Wed Jun 20 1990 08:33`	5
	I installed VMS T5.4-4GE again. I got a copy from another node this time and I still can't find XDPS$DPSLIBSHR.EXE. Could you tell me which saveset it is supposed to be located in? Thanks. Arun
2954.3	XDPS$DPSLIBSHR.EXE is in saveset B...	LNKUGL::BOWMAN	Bob Bowman, CSC/CS SPACE Team	`Wed Jun 20 1990 09:40`	5
	It is part of the VMS Base kit, saveset VMS054.B. I see no way that a valid installation would fail to leave this file in sys$library. How did you do the installation? Was it an upgrade or a new installation? How did you answer the various questions during the upgrade? Did you tailor anything off after the installation?
2954.4	I found the file. Thanks.	FSLENG::JAIN		`Wed Jun 20 1990 16:09`	7
	I upgraded from VMS 5.3 to VMS T5.4-4GE. I finally decided to install VMS T5.4-4GE. This provided the XDPS$DPSLIBSHR.EXE file. The only thing I can think of is that I had tailored a group of files "off" which included this file. Thanks for the reassurance that the file did exist. Arun
2954.5	CDA Viewer doesn't recognize PS	FSLENG::JAIN		`Fri Jun 22 1990 00:00`	9
	I still can't Display Postscript files using the CDA Viewer. The message says "Server Doesn't Recognize PostScript Extension". $ VIEW/INTERFACE=DECWINDOWS FILE.PS/FORMAT=PS The CDA Viewer seems to recognize DDIF and DIF files only. Any ideas on possible solutions? Arun
2954.6		STAR::MFOLEY	Rebel without a Clue	`Fri Jun 22 1990 11:37`	7
	What are you displaying too? If it's a VT1000 then forget it.. It doesn't have the support in the server.. The system you display on much have a server with Postscript support in the server. mike
2954.7	It used to work on VMS 5.3	FSLENG::JAIN		`Fri Jun 22 1990 17:48`	16
	I have installed VMS T5.4-4GE on a VAX 8250 system (SCORPIO). The startup procedure doesn't allow ne to install DECwindows driver because it can't find any graphics devices on the system. I don't know if that is the problem. I used to run DECwindows applications on the system before I installed 5.4. The commands I used before were: $ ON ERROR THEN CONTINUE $ SET NOVERIFY $ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=VAXstation-3100-node $ MCR system-node::SYS$SYSTEM:VUE$MASTER.EXE $ EXIT This command file would reside on the SYSTEM and be called from the session manager on the VASstation 3100.

2954.8	are both client & server 5.4?	STAR::ORGOVAN	Vince Orgovan	`Sat Jun 23 1990 15:58`	4
	To use Display PostScript on VMS systems, both the client and server must be running VMS 5.4. You've stated that the client 8250 system is running T5.4-4GE which is fine, but what about the VAXstation-3100 server?
