There is a problem in DECW$STARTXTERMINAL.COM under DECwindows V3 IFT. This
problem is corrected with the LAT/Master which is also in field test now.

The symptom of the problem is the VT1000 can not find the 75DPI fonts.

The DECW$DEVICE.COM has changed for DECwindows V3, the 75DPI directory is 
missing, the old DECW$STARTXTERMINAL.COM file can no longer load 75DPI 
DECW$FONT on DECWwindows V3 and we get only 100 DPI fonts.

To fix this problem, do the following:

$ COPY DECW$STARTXTERMINAL.COM SYS$COMMON:[SMRMGR]:
$ DEASSIGN/EXE/TABLE=DECW$LOGICAL_NAMES DECW$XTERMINAL_FONT
$ @SYS$MANAGER:DECW$STARTUP XTERMINAL

**note** the DECW$STARTXTERMINAL.COM file in the next reply works with the 
old LTDRIVER on V5.3 through V5.4-1.

Does the kit allow me to install it in SYS$SPECIFIC so other cluster
members are not effected? Or do I have to take the kit apart ?

Thanks 
	Thomas

    You'll have to take the kit apart.
    
    I wouldn't recommend it, but you know what you're doing, Thomas :-)

    Do I really need a PAK to install V3 IFT?

    -Terry

    Yes.

I've placed a copy if the kits (no space for docs) in:

    There is an error in the directions given to pull the DW V3.0 PAK from 
    VTX.  The PAK name is incorrect.  The corrected PAK name is 
    DW-DEV-KIT-OSF-V.
    
    As there are only 4 royalty bearing PAKs in VTX anyway, and 2 are
    Ultrix products, I don't think this will confuse too many people!
    
    Janis

    How can we find out how much our cost center will be charged for
    the PAK?  There's no clue in the VTX PAK system.
    
    			Steve

Steve,

The charge does *not* come out of your cost center.  DEC will be charged
$40 per license.

				steve

Why, then, does the PAK system ask for a cost center number before it will issue
you the PAK?

--PSW

The following text is displayed by the VTX PAK menu for royalty PAKs.  Note
that it explicitly says there will be a cost-center cross charge.  Is the
text wrong or are we actually being charged?


   The following Digital software product(s) are bound by a royalty agreement
   with a third party, and use PAKs as the tracking mechanism for Digital to
   fulfill its obligation for the usage of these product(s) internally. Each
   PAK issued from the following list results in a cost center cross charge for
   the royalty payment, and a royalty payment from DIGITAL to a third party.
   For more information contact the Royalty Administration Organization.


				Steve

I asked my cost center manager whether or not we were being charged for
the Motif PAKs.  The question eventually got routed to our financial planner
(I think) who said that "Royalty Administration" told her that the cost
centers were indeed being charged for each Motif PAK, but that the fee was
$14, not $40, per CPU.  This is a one-time only charge for each system.

			Steve

Sorry 'bout that.  I guess I was given the wrong information.
