[Info-vax] Mapping a PC screen to DECWindows

Another way to get X running without XDM is with RSH.

The X-terminal syste issues an RSH command which runs a .COM on the
target system. That .COM defines DECW$DISPLAY (or SET DISP/CREATE) and
then run/proc=xxx sys$system:decw$session.exe


This way, RSH invokes a procedure which will pop the decw$display on the
X terminal.

What I have done is:

at boot time:

$SET DISP/CREATE/EXEC/TRANSPORT=TCPIP/NODE=MyMac
$DEFINE/SYSTEM MAC$DISPLAY F$TRNLNM("DECW$DISPLAY")

And in my RSH:

> $write sys$output "''f$getsyi("SCSNODE")' starting a decterm on the mac"
> $define decw$display 'f$trnlnm("MAC$DISPLAY")
> $create/term/detached/NOLOGGED
