3326.0. "DECwrite/DECwindows version prob?" by WIMP::METHOT (The only true system is chaos) Mon Sep 10 1990 16:33

    This may be the wrong notes conference to ask this but does anyone know
    if it is the intended behavior of VMS 5.4-4G1 and DECwindows 5.4 not to
    support DECwrite 1.0 (or visa versa)?  

    Not work:
    	Upon quitting a DECwrite session the Session manager's Icon Box
    disappears and the (colored) banners disappear off all windows.  The
    menu bar of the windows is still there and one can exit DECwrite 
    (filing).  

    Interestingly if one has had the session manager deiconized prior to
    this one can still select the session manager's window menu and Quit
    the session, causing a normal session manager login window to reappear. 
    One can log in normally and all is as before.  

    Using DECwrite 1.1 in the same scenario and same operating system
    version the quit functions as one would expect.???......

3326.2Try SSB VMSMS3100::SCHELLMark Schell, Sls Support, 367-4040Tue Sep 11 1990 16:546
	Not to continue a discussion in multiple places, but what kind of
system is this?  If it's a VAXstation 3100, and it has the SPX graphics board,
it just may be a DECwindows server problem.  I'd suggest upgrading to the 
"real" SSB VMS 5.4.  I've not seen any problems since going to this version...
