I customer got some VT1000 and want to open displays on them from
an application they have written. But how can they open a display
with XOpenDisplay and using LAT transport. One colon after host
name in XOpenDisplay specifies TCP/IP, and two colons DECnet.
Does three colons mean LAT? :-)
I understand that they can create the display in DCL with SET DISPLAY
but they want to port the application to ELN. And as I understand
there is no DCL SET DISPLAY in ELN.
Also is it possible to give a name to a VT1000 similar to a DECserver
name that they can refer to when opening the display. Or, do they
have to use the ethernet address.

No, ELN doesn't support LAT. In the soon to be released V4.2 we do support TCP/IP transport. /s/ Chuck | |||||

.0 gets at exactly the problem we were trying to solve when we created the SET DISPLAY business. There is not standard syntax beyond : and ::. Now we have LAT and LOCAL as well, and SET DISPLAY is the only way to make those work. Burns | |||||
