2557.0. "MIT Athena Widgets for VMS" by TOWNS::RUFFIEUX () Mon Apr 02 1990 15:38

    
    I have searched through this notes conference and the decwindows
    examples conference but have come up short of finding the 
    information I need.
    
    Has anybody ported the MIT X11R3 or R4 Athena Widgets and Xmu to
    VMS DECwindows?  If so could you please post a pointer.  We would
    greatly appreciate it!
    
    Thanks,

Well, I have seen some applications running using the R3 widgets on VMS,
but I don't know how generic the port is.  The software I am thinking of is
XRN, the read news software.  See conference UFP::XRN

something for which I take no responsibility.

A customer made the generally minor modification to get the R3 stuff working
on VMS and posted it to some newgroup or something.  Someone in DEC extracted
it and made it available, but I don't remember where I saw the announcement
of it.  I grabbed the stuff at that point; what I got can be found at
	CVG::SYS$GAMES:[ATHENA_X11.X...]
I believe that these changes were sent to Athena, so they may have made it into
R4, but I really don't know.

    Read note 740 (I think..) in RDVAX::X.  I posted the DECUS
    info in there (from USENET) late last year.
