REMDECW, SOFTWARE, Remote DECwindows Application launching These command files allow you to add menu items to a FileView or Session Manager Menu that allow access to remote systems. The advantage of these routines is that you can use them on a FileView session that is running on a different host than your X-Server display to launch programs on a third or more hosts. This is quite useful when your X-11 Server is not running on an OpenVMS host. When they are configured as a Session Manager or FileView menu option with the "[] ..." option, they will bring up dialog boxes to prompt for information that they need. The last entered values will be displayed. For best results, use with DECNET and TCPIP proxies. For non proxied systems, they will cache the username and password internally to the FileView/Session manager session. Caveats: 1. They use undocumented logical names for deciphering the return IP address. 2. They are using VUE$* dcl routines that I have not found documented anywhere. 3. They have only been used where UCX or TCPIP in use and probably will need modifications to use any other TCP/IP program. 4. They are normally used with DECNET so use with TCPIP versions prior to 5.1 may have some unknown bugs.
