Graphical window

[TMcB]

I have a server which is physically located some distance away. I can use a graphical window from my pc by:
export DISPLAY=pcname:0.0

When I am actually at the server, which only has a dumb terminal connected, it is a hindrance as programs running on it are easier to use if I have a graphical window. The only thing in the same room is an OpenVMS server, which has a monitor and DecWindows running.

Does anyone know if it is possible to run a Unix graphical session via a VMS machine.

Any advice is greatly appreciated.

I just took a look at http://www.iagu.on.net/docs/dec/AA-Q917B-TE_html/TOC.html and DecWindows appears to be based on the bog-standard Xserver so there should be no problem (in theory) , fonts can sometimes cause problems though .....

basically the procedure is the same as per your PC.
