10.2 Using DECW$TAILOR
10.2.2 DECwindows Files You Can Tailor
The following is a list of classes and subclasses of DECwindows files that you can
add or delete using DECW$TAILOR. For a list of DECwindows files and their
functions, see Appendix E.
• DECwindows base support files — If you plan to install the separate
DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX layered product, you must add
the base support files.
• DECwindows workstation support files — If you are installing DECwindows
support on a workstation or in a cluster that includes workstations or if you
intend to install the DECwindows Motif for OpenVMS VAX layered product,
you need the workstation support files. Otherwise, you do not need them.
Note
If you tailor device support files ON or OFF, the system reboots.
• 100 dots/inch video font files — By default, some workstation monitors (for
example, a VR150, VR160, or VR295) display 100 dots/inch, which gives you
a more readable display when you run DECwindows applications. If your
workstation monitor cannot display 100 dots/inch fonts (for example, a VR260
or VR290), you can save disk space by not selecting this option. For more
information about the capabilities of your particular monitor, refer to the
owner’s guide for your monitor.
• 75 dots/inch video font files — If your workstation monitor cannot display
75 dots/inch, you can save disk space by not selecting this option. For more
information about the capabilities of your particular monitor, refer to the
owner’s guide for your monitor.
10.2.3 Removing DECwindows Files
To remove DECwindows files from the system disk, do the following:
1. Log in to the SYSTEM account.
2. Type the following command, and press Return:
$ RUN SYS$UPDATE:DECW$TAILOR
DECW$TAILOR displays information about the DECW$TAILOR program
and displays the following message:
Do you want to tailor files "ON" or "OFF"?
3. Type OFF to remove unwanted files, and press Return.
The DECW$TAILOR program lists each group, or class, of files and its size
in blocks. Files are grouped according to their function. For example, all the
files required for DECwindows device support are in one class. A file class is
made up of many small subclasses. You can eliminate an entire class of files,
or you can eliminate one or more of its subclasses. For example:
CLASS - DECwindows workstation support files
Size of entire class (with subclasses): 14301
Size of common files required for any subclass: 8937
Do you wish to select the entire class (default = NO)?
