53.0. "DECWINDOWS required?" by SNOC02::BOUNDS (Alan Bounds SWS Wollongong) Tue Oct 30 1990 07:32

    Looking at the V2.1 documentation I see that DECWINDOWS Base V2.0 is a
    software requirement. Is this manditory for all VMS systems not just 
    VAXstations? I will be installing MRMEMO on a MV3100, SNA gateways and
    management already exist on the network and I only want to install the
    minimum number of layered products to support MRMEMO. 
    
    	Thanks Alan.

53.1	CDA$ACCESS is required	STKHLM::OLSSON	Anders Olsson, SIP Sweden	`Tue Oct 30 1990 11:35`	17
	Well, DECwindows isn't actually needed. The component that is needed is SYS$SHARE:CDA$ACCESS.EXE (used for DDIF to ASCII conversion). This image has been residing in the DECwindows kit and the supported way of getting it into the system was to install DECwindows. I don't think there is anything else needed from the DECwindows environment. As of VMS V5.4 (5.3 ?), however, CDA$ACCESS is included in the VMS kit so there shouldn't be any need to install DECwindows. Maybe the list of prerequisite software shouldn't include DECwindows but we chose to play it safe. Note that MRMEMO is a product in Sweden and Germany, which makes the "safety" considerations stronger. Since you are selling MRMEMO as a PASS, which (I guess) requires some on-site work anyway, you can choose whatever way you like to get SYS$SHARE:CDA$ACCESS.EXE into place. Anders
