JKB,

everything o.k. with licenses ?

I'm not sure, that DECW$TAYLOR is the correct tool to install/configure DECwindows-MOTIF under OpenVMS VAX V7.3. On my V7.3 system, PROD SHO HIST lists

There is DECW$EXAMPLES:ICO.C, but I'm not sure, if you could complie/link that with the debugger.

One could patch the image header of ICO.EXE to allow it to be run with the debugger, but then you might end up at the XOpenDisplay call, which will most likely return an error - and then what ? Those sources are not even on the (V6.1) source listing CDs.
