XROACH - XWindow Screen Hack This directory contains the source, build procedures and executables for OpenVMS AXP and OpenVMS VAX. I have set these demos up for the Dual Architecture VMScluster demo to be shown at DECUS Fall 92. They include a BUILD_demo.COM and a START_demo.COM that run on both OpenVMS VAX and OpenVMS AXP. You may need to edit the START_demo.COM to suit your demo's needs. The build procedure assumes a native environment. Cheers, Ed Smith [SPEZKO::SMITH] ----------------------------------------------------------------- XROACH creates Roaches that run around on the root window and hide under any open windows or icons. ** NOTE ** You must have the logical name DEMOS defined to point to the top level directory that contains the XROACH directory. All command procedures rely on this being defined. For example if all the XROACH files are in WORK:[SMITH.XROACH] then you need a logical name defined as follows: $ DEFINE/SYSTEM/EXECUTIVE DEMOS WORK:[SMITH.] ** Ensure you include the "." after the last directory name ** To build... ----------------------------------------------------------------- $ @DEMOS:[XROACH]BUILD_XROACH.COM This will build either a OpenVMS VAX or OpenVMS AXP image based on what architecture it is run on. To run... ----------------------------------------------------------------- $ @DEMOS:[XROACH]START_XROACH.COM This will start up the appropiate architecture version by defining the symbol XROACH to point to the correct executable and then running it.
