Problem Statement		

ASAP A60897
1. On a Workstation on which Digital UNIX is installed into which
directory should we install our start-up and shut-down files?

2. Our product currently requires v5 of the Motif libraries. Digital 
UNIX
currently ships with v6. Can we still obtain the v5 kit? And if so 
how?

Thanks in advance

John

1)[derk] see installation manuals or ASAP Reading
2)[derk] current SPD 41.61.18 states that latest version is fully 
X11R5 compatible:

 XPG4 Common Desktop Environment (CDE)

 DIGITAL UNIX conforms to the XPG4 Common Desktop Environment which 
cov-
 ers the following specifications of the X/Open CAE; Window 
Management
 (X11R5): Xlib - C Language Binding, Window Management (X11R5): X 
Toolkit
 Intrinsics, Window Management (X11R5): X Window System File Formats
 and Application Conventions, Interclient Communications Conventions
 Manual (ICCCM), and X Logical Font Description (XFLD), X/Open Motif
 Toolkit API, Calendaring and Scheduling API, X/Open Common Desktop 
En-
 vironment - Definitions and Infrastructure, and the X/Open Common 
Desk-
 top Environment - Services and Applications. Although the XPG4 Com-
 mon Desktop Environment specifies only X11R5 components, DIGITAL 
UNIX
 has fully implemented X11R6, while maintaining compliance with the 
XPG4
 CDE Standard.

[derk] a full version of X11R5 can be found at 
http://www-cad.eng.pko.dec.com/X11R5/mit/ in case customer wants 
release 5 anyway.

John,

Please let me answer your questions.


1. On a Workstation on which Digital UNIX is installed into which
directory should we install our start-up and shut-down files?

You should put all your startup and shutdown files in /sbin/init.d. 
You should then put links for the rc.x directories depending on which 
run time level you wish that script to be run.

2. Our product currently requires v5 of the Motif libraries. Digital 
UNIX
currently ships with v6. Can we still obtain the v5 kit? And if so 
how?

You can do this in two ways.

1) Recompile under Digital unic V4 and linj against the X11 V6 
libraries.

2) Ship the X11 V5 libraries with your product and set up an 
environmental variable to point to them at runtime.

I hope this helps,  

Simon Cole
