HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS
Documentation Overview


Previous Contents

1.4.3 Device Support and Transport Programming

Due to significant changes to the transport interface, to the range of supported devices, and the discontinuation of support for user-written transports, the following manuals have been archived and are no longer considered a formal part of the DECwindows Motif documentation set:

  • VMS DECwindows Device Driver Manual
  • VMS DECwindows Transport Manual

For support purposes, online versions of both manuals remain available from the DECwindows Motif section of the OpenVMS Documentation web site. See Chapter 2 for information on accessing this site.

For information on the DECwindows Motif transport interface, see the HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS New Features manual and the HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS Release Notes.
