caution: be sure the rlp command has the Berkley switch options set, to print postscript files from HP-UX through NT.
Terminal and
Application Access
There are many software packages that allow terminal access or application display to/from HP-UX and Windows NT.
For terminal access, HP-UX provides telnet and rlogin/remsh/rexec clients as well as telnetd and rlogind daemons to allow multi-user access. NT on the other hand, only provides telnet, rsh (similar to remsh in HP-UX) and rexec clients. With add-on NT software packages, like OpenNT that provide a telnet daemon service, NT can become a multi-user system in the traditional UNIX sense.
Windows NT does not support X11 Windows, Motif or CDE (Common Desktop Environment) natively, as does HP-UX. Vendors outside of Microsoft provide software, which enable NT to be both client and server within X windows. Packages such as OpenNT, Reflection X and WinTED, provide X11 services such that an NT desktop user can open an X terminal or X Window application from a HP-UX system and display it on their desktop.
Running Windows NT 4.0 applications and interacting with them on an HP-UX workstation X11 desktop can also be accomplished with the use of alternative packages. These software packages, such as WinCenter and TealView, provide a mechanism for trapping the Microsoft Windows display calls and sending them via X11 to the remote HP-UX system. This allows an HP-UX workstation user to run Windows NT applications in an X Window within the CDE or VUE environments. This access to a Windows NT 4.0 server and its applications is based upon Microsoft Windows NT 4.0 Server, Terminal Server Edition and MetaFrame from Citrix.
Although DCE (Distributed Computing Environment) is implemented on both operating systems, HP-UX has a full tool and feature set. Microsoft has currently incorporated only the remote procedure call (rpc) portion of the OSF (Open Software Foundation) specification for DCE. Although it is not a full feature set, it does some basic application interoperation between HP-UX and NT.
