HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS

HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS is a System In- tegrated Product (SIP). It is a separately licensed lay- ered product offered on the Alpha platform. On the In- tegrity Server platform, the DECwindows product is part of the Foundation Operating Environment (FOE) and is licensed under this package.

This product provides support for both OSF/Motif, a standards-based graphical user interface, and the X user interface (XUI) in a single, run-time and devel- opment environment. DECwindows Motif displays the OSF/Motif user interface. Because both Motif and XUI are based on X.org X Window System, applications writ- ten with either toolkit will run regardless of which envi- ronment the user selects.

Refer to the HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Soft- ware Product Description (SPD 42.19.xx) for more in- formation.

OpenVMS is based on the following public, national, and international standards.

Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Support

The DCE for the OpenVMS product family provides a set of the distributed computing features speciﬁed by The Open Group’s DCE, as well as tools for application de- velopers. With DCE, The Open Group has established a standard set of services and interfaces that facilitate the creation, use, and maintenance of client/server ap- plications. DCE for OpenVMS serves as the basis for an open computing environment where networks of mul- tivendor systems appear as a single system to the user. Because DCE makes the underlying networks and op- erating systems transparent, application developers can easily build portable, interoperable client/server applica- tions. Users can locate and share information safely and easily across the entire enterprise. DCE for OpenVMS supplies system managers with a set of tools to consis- tently manage the entire distributed computing environ- ment, while assuring the integrity of the enterprise.

DCE for OpenVMS currently consists of the following products:

•DCE Run-Time Services for OpenVMS

•DCE Application Developers’ Kit for OpenVMS

•DCE Cell Directory Service (CDS)

•DCE Security Server, one of which is required for each DCE

The right to use the DCE Run-Time Services is included with the OpenVMS operating system base license. All other DCE products are available as separate layered products. Refer to the HP Distributed Computing En- vironment (DCE) for OpenVMS Software Product De- scription (SPD 43.05.xx) for more detailed information.

Support for OSF/Motif and X Window System Standards

DECwindows Motif provides support for OSF/Motif, a standards-based graphical user interface. DECwindows Motif also provides support for the X Consortium’s X Window System, Version 11, Release 6 (X11R6) server and the Version 11, Release 5 (X11R5) client.
