- DECW$LOGIN_BACKGROUND should point to command procedure. You'll need some
- sort of Xwindows display program. I use XV that I got via anonymous FTP
- from TGV.COM. It displays X11 bitmaps, GIF, JPEG, Postscript, Sun Rastar
- files,... Check the docs for a full list.

- As for "use screens used on UNIX boxes", I guess it depends on if you can
- find the files the UNIX boxes use in a format that XV understands. Anyway,
- here's a copy of my DECW$LOGIN_BACKGROUND file:
-
- $ define sys$output sys$manager:login-background.log
- $ set verify
- $ set noon
- $ show process/all
- $ @sys_setup:setup_x
- $ show display
- $ set display/create/trans=local/node='f$getsyi("NODENAME")
- $ show display
- $ xv -root -max -quit PUBLIC:[IMAGES]CSTP-LOGO.GIF
- $ write sys$output $status
- $ purge/keep=5 sys$manager:login-background.log
