I need to setup a demo of using PCM in the user application level
i.e. using pseudo terminals .
Is it possible to use an existing application like dxterm which is
using pseudo devices and to show selected information - from text written
on the dxterm - as messages that are scanned and displayed by PCM ?
I have tried to do it - unsuccesfully !
If anybody has any idea of how to demo the pseudo terminal abbility
without writing my own application ( I don't have either the time or
knowledge ) - Please help ASAP .
Thanks

Yakov,
Not sure exactly what you were trying to do with the dxterm, but
anyway...
It's easy to set something up for a demo. What I do is to use an
editor. Just add/modify a system. When you select terminal type, choose
pseudo. In the command window, put in the name of an editor. It sounds
like you're on Ultrix or OSF/1, so just put in 'vi' (but without the
quotes). Restart PCM or issue a reconfigure. WHen you try to connect
from the C3, you'll be put in a dxterm running vi. If you using this
on VMS, substitute 'edit/tpu' for 'vi'. Now you can enter data and even
simulate some events to make the icons change color or even fire off an
action routine.
