HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Version 1.6

HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS V1.6
Support of the X11 network protocol in the client library
and display server components provides the OpenVMS
operating system with the ability to interoperate with
other X11-compliant systems in a distributed fashion.
The DECwindows Motif Version 1.6 product provides
four transport interfaces: local shared memory, DECnet,
and TCP/IP (using the HP TCP/IP Services for Open-
VMS product or third-party products such as MultiNet),
and Lat Transport. User-written transport subsystems
and transport interfaces are not supported.

Translated Image Environment (Alpha Only)
HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha provides an
array of services to allow the operation of programs
that have undergone binary translation from DECwin-
dows Motif Version 1.1 or XUI VAX images. These pro-
grams can perform virtually all user-mode functions on
HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha systems.
However, HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha
shareable images that are used with translated images
are different from and incompatible with the shareable
images used for native images. Native and translated
images that use HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS
Alpha software cannot be used together in a process.
Without requiring special source code, the Translated
Image Environment (TIE) automatically resolves differ-
ences between the VAX and Alpha architectures, includ-
ing floating-point registers, condition codes, exception
handling, asynchronous system traps, and so on.
The Translated Image Environment included with HP
DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Alpha is sufficient to
run images that have been translated elsewhere.
There is no translated image support on OpenVMS I64.
