Hello all, have a customer porting his PHIGS based application from OpenVMS AXP to Digital UNIX. Depending what the enduser does there are up to 8 PHIGS workststions simultaneously open. To limit memory consumption it is essential for the application that all workstations share the same CSS. He found on OpenVMS that there are problems with structure sharing, depending on wstype. We learnt that there are some undocumented logicals, which helped to improve the behaviour, e.g. PHIGS$$ENABLE_STRUCT_SHARING Can anybody tell or has experince, if PHIGS for Digital UNIX has similar problems and if there are corresponding environment varables ? Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance. /Reinhard

Yes, the undocumented logicals in OpenVMS PHIGS have UNIX equivalents. As all the undocumented logicals have a PHIGS$$ prefix (with two $-signs), all the undocumented UNIX environmental controls have a PHIGS_ prefix. So, for example, PHIGS$$ENABLE_STRUCT_SHARING = PHIGS_enable_struct_sharing Your customer may also want to experiment with the regularly documented environmental controls PHIGS$DEVICE_STRUCT_SUPPORT_<wstype> = PHIGSdevice_struct_support_<wstype> and PHIGS$DEVICE_STRUCT_ELMSIZE_<wstype> = PHIGSdevice_struct_elmsize_<wstype> - Ben | |||||
