8979.0. "any alternative for Multia,VXT2000?" by BEJVC::HELENZHOU () Wed Feb 26 1997 23:02

Hi, experts

I need your help badly! VXT2000 and Multia are all retired, but customers still
need the function of displying UNIX and VMS Alpha's DECWindow/Motif over 
networt.

(1) WHAT'S TEH ALTERNATIVE Digital can provide today? Your advisory is looking
    forward to.

(2) I know "eXcursion" can simulate DECWindow/Motif on PC. But the customers
    request LOCAL LANGUAGE support for DECwindow/Motif displying by eXcursion
    on PC.

   Could you tell me, If DECWindow/Motif on Digital-UNIX and VMS are all support
   Chinese Character, can the "eXcursion" display Chinese Character in DECWindow/
   Motif simulation on PC also? or need other add on software? from which vendor?
   ...

Thanks ahead for your help!

	Hi, Helen,

	A couple other notes conferences might be able to help:

	    NOTED::EXCURSION
	    HANZI::ASIAN_PRODUCTS

	If not, here are some ideas:

	    1.  Run eXcursion on the PC and feed it the Chinese fonts
	        from a font server on a Digital UNIX system.  The font
		server is needed because I can't find any eXcursion
		kits that contain Chinese fonts.

	    2.  Use Reflection X, a PC X server from a company named
		WRQ.  It includes a few Chinese fonts.

	I'm going to test both approaches tomorrow, just to be safe.
	I know that the second idea will need some tweaking.  I'll let
	you know how it goes.

	A couple questions for you:

	    1.  What version of Digital UNIX is the customer using?

	    2.  Are they using CDE?

	    3.  Are they using Simplified or Traditional Chinese?

	Thanks and regards,

	Tom
