10.2 Using DECW$TAILOR
You can use DECW$TAILOR to add or remove some or all DECwindows X11
display server, base support, and fonts files from the system disk. For example,
if you are not planning to use the DECwindows PEX (PHIGS Extensions
to X) support, you can remove those files. Later, if you decide you want
DECwindows programming support, you can add the files to the system disk
using DECW$TAILOR and your DECwindows distribution media. You cannot
tailor files on or off an alternate device.
Note
To add or remove DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX files, refer to
the DECwindows Motif Version 1.2–3 for OpenVMS Installation Guide.
DECW$TAILOR will only tailor on or off those DECwindows display
server, base support, and font files, with the exception of the required
files, supplied on the OpenVMS VAX kit.
10.2.1 How DECW$TAILOR Works
DECW$TAILOR has three phases:
• DECW$TAILOR asks if you want to tailor your system by adding files (tailor
on) or by deleting files (tailor off).
• If you choose to tailor files on, DECW$TAILOR lists each class of
DECwindows files and asks if you want to include them on the system
disk. If you choose to tailor files off, DECW$TAILOR lists each class of
DECwindows files and asks if you want to delete them from the system disk.
• DECW$TAILOR adds or deletes the files you indicated from the system disk.
If you are tailoring files on, you must load your DECwindows distribution
media in a drive that is available to the system. For example, if your
OpenVMS VAX distribution kit is on a TK50 tape cartridge, load the second
tape cartridge, which contains the DECwindows support files, into a TK50
drive that is available to the system.
