If you previously chose not to install or if you removed DECwindows base-support software, perform one of the following procedures to add DECwindows base-support files:
To reconfigure the OpenVMS Alpha operating system to add DECwindows
Motif support, use the PRODUCT RECONFIGURE command.
5.3.2 Using the SYS$UPDATE:DECW$TAILOR.EXE Command (VAX Only)
You can use the DECW$TAILOR utility to add or remove some or all DECwindows base-support files from the system disk.
DECW$TAILOR is similar to DECW$MOTIF_TAILOR. However, the DECW$TAILOR utility is used to add or remove files that support the DECwindows display server (for example: base-support, workstation, and font files).
DECW$TAILOR includes three phases:
To cancel DECW$TAILOR during the first and second phases, press Ctrl/C, Ctrl/Y, or Ctrl/Z. If you cancel DECW$TAILOR during the third phase, a partially tailored disk may result. |
Table 5-3 lists the classes and subclasses of DECwindows files that you can add or remove from your system using DECW$TAILOR.
VMS Version 5.5--2 uses different class names. These are shown in parentheses below the name used in Version 6.2 and Version 7.1. |
Class | Subclass | Description |
---|---|---|
DECwindows base support files
(DECwindows applications files) |
No subclasses in this tailor class | Files necessary to run the DECwindows Motif client and DECwindows display server. |
DECwindows workstation support files
(DECwindows device support files) |
PEX for PHIGS support files | Files necessary to run the DECwindows display server; the PEX subclass includes support files for three-dimensional graphics. |
75-dpi video font files | No subclasses in this tailor class | Device support files for 75-dpi monitors. |
100-dpi video font files | No subclasses in this tailor class | Device support files for 100-dpi monitors. |
Adding DECwindows Files to the System Disk
To add DECwindows files to the system disk, perform the following steps:
$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:DECW$TAILOR |
CLASS - DECwindows device support files Size of entire class (with subclasses): 14107 Size of common files required for any subclass: 10645 Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)? Do you wish to select any of its subclasses (default = NO)? . . . |
To cancel DECW$TAILOR during this phase, press Ctrl/C, Ctrl/Y, or Ctrl/Z. If you cancel DECW$TAILOR following this class selection phase, a partially tailored disk may result. |
The distribution media is the OpenVMS distribution media that contains the DECwindows save sets. |
Example 5-2 shows how to use DECW$TAILOR to add files to a system disk. The example was run on a VMS 5.5--2 system.

$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:DECW$TAILOR . . . Do you want to tailor files "ON" or "OFF"? ON TAILOR-ON --------- You will now be prompted with a list of the classes and subclasses of DECwindows files that are optional. The size of each class and subclass is included in the list. This will help you decide whether or not you want to add a class or subclass to your system. Under some classes, there is a set of common files that is required in order for any subclasses to work. These files are added when you ask for either the entire class or any of its subclasses. Total size of the system disk is 1216665 blocks. Total space used on the system disk is 1121958 blocks. Total space left on the system disk is 94707 blocks. CLASS - DECwindows applications files Size of entire class (with subclasses): 11544 No subclasses in this tailor class. Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)? YES CLASS - DECwindows device support files Size of entire class (with subclasses): 14107 Size of common files required for any subclass: 10645 Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)? [Return] Do you wish to select any of its subclasses (default = NO)? [Return] CLASS - 75 dots per inch video font files Size of entire class (with subclasses): 2539 No subclasses in this tailor class. Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)? [Return] CLASS - 100 dots per inch video font files Size of entire class (with subclasses): 3829 No subclasses in this tailor class. Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)? [Return] CLASS - DECwindows programming support files Size of entire class (with subclasses): 26208 Size of common files required for any subclass: 924 Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)? [Return] Do you wish to select any of its subclasses (default = NO)? [Return] CLASS - Example files Size of entire class (with subclasses): 3160 No subclasses in this tailor class. Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)? [Return] Files have been selected Do you wish to add all of the options selected?

5.4 Determining and Reporting Problems
If you encounter a problem while using DECwindows Motif, report it to
Compaq. Review the Software Product Description (SPD) for an
explanation of warranty. If you encounter a problem during the warranty
period, you can take one of the following actions:
This appendix contains sample installations of the Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software on the following OpenVMS systems:
Refer to Chapter 2 for details about using the POLYCENTER Software Installation utility to install Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS software.
The sample installations assume that you have set the default directory to the device name and directory containing the PCSI ECO and DECwindows Motif savesets. (The PCSI ECO is only required for the supported versions of OpenVMS prior to Version 7.2. See the Guide to the Compaq DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS CD--ROM for details about this ECO.)
