-
- This is a release of XSCOPE/VMS 1.0. XSCOPE is a diagnostic tool for
- debugging X Window Transport problems. This version of XSCOPE supports
- both TCP/IP (via MultiNet) and DECnet. Later releases will support other
- vendor's VMS TCP/IP implementations. If you desired to add this support
- please send me the updated source code.
-
- This posting contains 8 VMS Shar files. It is also available via anonymous
- FTP from PUBLIC.TGV.COM under [.mahan] as a VMS Backup Saveset.
-
- Below is the README.VMS file.

- XScope/VMS
- 1.0
-
- Description
-
- This is a version of XSCOPE for VMS. It supports both DECnet and TCP/IP
- transports and fully compatible with the X11 protocol. For a description
- of how XSCOPE works see the file README.;
-
- Where to get XScope/VMS
-
- XScope/VMS is distributed as both a VMS Shar file and a VMS Backup Saveset.
- The VMS Shar file is posted to vmsnet.sources and the VMS Backup Saveset
- is available from PUBLIC.TGV.COM under [.MAHAN].
-
- Building Xscope/VMS
-
- After unpacking the VMS Shar file, or the VMS Backup Saveset, issue the
- command @MAKE.COM to compile and link both xscope programs. This build
- produces at least one executable and maybe two if you have MultiNet
- installed on your system. DNXSCOPE.EXE is the DECnet version of XSCOPE.
- It requires the following privileges to run: NETMBX, TMPMBX and SYSNAM.
- IPXSCOPE.EXE is the TCP/IP version built using TGV's MultiNet Socket library,
- though it should easily any of the current VMS TCP/IP vendor's socket
- libraries.
-
- After building the executables, simply define the executables as foreign
- commands.
-
- User Help
-
- Currently the only help provided is the original Unix man page provided
- with XSCOPE.
-
- Restrictions
-
- The DECnet version requires SYSNAM privilege. This is due to the nature
- of DECnet objects which require the ability to create system wide logical
- names.
-
- The TCP/IP version is built using TGV's MultiNet. Hopefully, somebody
- will convert it to support other vendor's VMS TCP/IP libraries as well.
- If you do, I would like the modified source sent back to me. One small
- caveat, the other vendor's TCP/IP must be a fairly full implementation
- of the standard socket library. To see what I did for MultiNet, look
- for the #ifdef MULTINET lines in the .C files.
-
- Please report any bugs or enhancements to me.
