HP OpenVMS Version 8.4 for Integrity and Alpha servers SPD 82.35.19
HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS
HP DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS is a System Inte-
grated Product (SIP). It is a separately licensed layered
product offered on the Alpha platform. On the Integrity
Server platform, the DECwindows product is part of the
Base Operating Environment (BOE) and is licensed un-
der this package.
This product provides support for both OSF/Motif, a
standards-based graphical user interface, and the X
user interface (XUI) in a single, run-time and devel-
opment environment. DECwindows Motif displays the
OSF/Motif user interface. Because both Motif and XUI
are based on X.org X Window System, applications writ-
ten with either toolkit will run regardless of which envi-
ronment the user selects.
For more information, see the HP DECwindows Mo-
tif for OpenVMS Software Product Description (SPD
42.19.xx).
Support for the HP AD317A PCI sound card has been
implemented for Integrity servers running OpenVMS.
The device driver and a DECwindows audio-support im-
age provide audible alarms (xBell) for X11 applications.
CONFORMANCE TO STANDARDS
OpenVMS is based on the following public, national, and
international standards.
Distributed Computing Environment (DCE) Support
The DCE for the OpenVMS product family provides a set
of the distributed computing features specified by The
Open Group’s DCE, as well as tools for application de-
velopers. With DCE, The Open Group has established
a standard set of services and interfaces that facilitate
the creation, use, and maintenance of client/server ap-
plications. DCE for OpenVMS serves as the basis for
an open computing environment where networks of mul-
tivendor systems appear as a single system to the user.
Because DCE makes the underlying networks and op-
erating systems transparent, application developers can
easily build portable, interoperable client/server applica-
tions. Users can locate and share information safely and
easily across the entire enterprise. DCE for OpenVMS
supplies system managers with a set of tools to consis-
tently manage the entire distributed computing environ-
ment, while assuring the integrity of the enterprise.
DCE for OpenVMS currently consists of the following
products:
• DCE Run-Time Services for OpenVMS
• DCE Application Developers’ Kit for OpenVMS
• DCE Cell Directory Service (CDS)
• DCE Security Server, one of which is required for
each DCE
The right to use the DCE Run-Time Services is included
with the OpenVMS operating system base license. All
other DCE products are available as separate layered
products. For more details, see the HP Distributed Com-
puting Environment (DCE) for OpenVMS Software Prod-
uct Description (SPD 43.05.xx).
Support for OSF/Motif and X Window System
Standards
DECwindows Motif provides support for OSF/Motif, a
standards-based graphical user interface. DECwindows
Motif also provides support for the X Consortium’s X
Window System, Version 11, Release 6 (X11R6) server
and the Version 11, Release 5 (X11R5) client.
Standards Supported by OpenVMS

tional Standards Institute (ANSI), U.S. Federal Govern-
ment (responsible for FIPS), Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and the International Or-
