export display to PC

Robert S. White — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 10:34:24 GMT

I need to export a JAVA (read graphics)program to my PC from an HP-UX 11i platform. It will be several days (if not weeks) before the company wheels turn to get Exceed installed on my PC.

Question: Is there any way to export displays to a PC without having Exceed or Reflections?

You can use cygwin + Xfree, but an X server is requiered in your client PC.

Hi Robert,

http://www.cygwin.com/xfree/

You will need a X-terminal emulator, above product is free.

Why don't you go to the Hummingbird site and request an evaluation license? You can then download and install the package while the wheels continue to turn.

I recommend VNC. It's free and it works well. See http://www.realvnc.com/ .

You can also get the Gnome Desktop for HPUX from software.hp.com (also free).

I run these two on an HPUX server and connect with my XP laptop. XP is in the background, with the X environment running full screen. My desktop looks like Linux, but it's running on a fast, reliable, four-way HPUX server.
