(Especially useful if you are running a painfully underpowered VAXstation 2000 and want to run DECwrite, for instance!) Here is how we do it. Cut this COM file out and place it in your account on the remote node. You can even opt to run it from your LOGIN.COM if you want a "captive" (so to speak) FileView session. -------------------------------- CUT HERE --------------------------------- $! VUE.COM - Option to crank up FileView on a Remote Workstation $!

Simply log in to the remote machine from a local (station) DECterm window, run VUE.COM, and "Voila'" - FileView! By the way, this DOES assume that both the remote and local machines are running DECwindows! _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_- Bill Bailey, "The VAXman", Senior Systems Analyst - CIBA-GEIGY Corporation Using the facilities of NC A&T State University: BAILEYB@ATSUVAX1.BITNET "The BillBoard" VAX/PC interest BBS, (919) 292-1979 at 2400, 1200 & 300 baud Disclaimer: "I don't speak Basel-deutsch, how could I speak for CIBA-GEIGY?!" -_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_
