3581.0. "DECWindows TEKTRONIX emulators" by MISTY::NERAAL () Mon Nov 05 1990 11:03

Hello,

one of the biggest french industrial accounts, Renault Car Manufacturing, has 
spent a lot of time and money on developping home made CAD-CAM applications in
the early 80s on VAX/VMS+tektronix 4014.

Tektronix 4125 emulator is available on VWS and on DECWindows (VMS and ULTRIX).
Tektronix 4014 emulator is available as part of the standard VWS shipment.

Is there any hope of getting a 4014 emulator on DECWindows ?
I know this sounds old-fashioned, but it would help me secure my customer on
our workstations while gently pushing him towards standard CAD-CAM products.

Thanks for any information,

Erik

   We are currently in the last week of field test for DW4125, a DECwindows
   Tektronix 4125 emulator.  There is a notesfile for this product; contact
   Eric (HANNAH::) Osman for membership.  You mentioned that 4125 emulation
   is available for VMS and Ultrix; I assume you are referring to a non-DEC
   product.  Note that 4125 is a superset of 4010/4014, so old applications
   written for 4010/4014 terminals should run unchanged on DW4125.

    You can always try xterm off the MIT distribution.  I believe it has a
    4014 emulator ala the VT200 style switch within a ANSI terminal.
