There are various ways of methods and styles when using a separate system (X11 Server System, “Host”) to display applications running on an emulator (X11 Client System, “Guest”). The emulated system, on which the X11 clients runĭisplaying Graphical Applications Over The Network

The system on which the emulator runs, and also on which the X11 session is displayed

The guest operating system versions tested were: Tru64 V4.0F/V5.1B, OpenVMS V7.1/V7.3-2įor the purposes of this document, the following definitions apply: Term.

The X-server configurations described in this document were tested using the VcXsrv X-server on Windows.

Familiarity with the CHARON-AXP product.

Familiarity with the guest operating system (Tru64 or OpenVMS).

This document is intended to provide you with advice on how to configure the use of X-Windows between an emulator instance (either Tru64 or OpenVMS) and it’s Windows or Linux host.
