[Info-vax] Decwindows Motif V1.1 kit

[Paul Hardy]

For a software archaeology project, I’m trying to replicate using SimH a
specific VAX system from my working past. The original cluster kept back a
node at VAX VMS 5.5-2H4, to use for compilation as that was the only
approved version to feed executables into VEST to create Alpha executables.
The application was a graphical one, so we used DECWindows and the Motif
toolkit.

I’ve successfully created a VMS 5.5-2H4 system with the applications
loaded, but the DECWindows on the media is “DECWindows V5.4” which is the
pre-motif XUI DECWindows. So the apps fail trying to load DECW$XMLIBSHR. 

The applications I’m trying to run were linked against “DW V1.1-920519”. I
do have the DECWindows Motif that comes with 7.3 which is “DW
V1.2-5981104”, but I’d prefer not to skip to V1.2, as it used more colours
in the primary colour tables, and had DPS removed etc, which would restrict
the applications. 

So, does anyone have a media kit for VAX DECWindows Motif V1.1? Or more
generally, is there anywhere with old media kits for download? I’ll also
need some other layered products for VMS 5.5, such as Fortran, so a ConDist
for 5.5 would be really useful.

I do have current Hobbyist licensing, so it just the kits I need.

Regards,
