Hello, I'm currently running a DecWindows Application
on an Alpha Workstation running VMS, and I would like
to redirect this window to a PC. Can this be done?

Jeff,
Sure thing........
You need a X-server installed on your PC.
There are some out there.... eXcursion,
ReflectionX, Kea X,....
Once installed their setups are a bit different, but they work the same.
When the PC loggs in, a SET DISPLAY command
is done that redirects all output to the
PC.
$ SET DISPLAY/CREATE/NODE=XXX/TRANSPORT=YYY
Transport = TCPIP or DECNET or LAT

If you can hold of it: With VMS may have come a PATHWORKS CD, on that you can find eXcursion. If DECW$SERVER is started, and with the proper initialisation, you not have to set your display - it's done automatically. This may be true for the other ones as well.
