The X Window System that is part of the DIGITAL UNIX operating system software is a standard X implementation. It conforms as closely as possible with the sample X Window System Release 6 (X11 R6) implementation from the X Consortium. This manual discusses everything except for the CDE environment. See Common Desktop Environment: User's Guide for information on CDE.
The DIGITAL UNIX implementation includes the standard X client applications,
such as
xterm,
xmh,
xclock,
twm, and
editres.
In addition,
the DIGITAL UNIX window environment provides Motif or CDE client applications
and DECwindows client applications.
DIGITAL UNIX contains CDE/Motif Release 1.0 and uses
dtwm
as
the default window manager.
Two X session styles are offered.
CDE is the default
X session.
Information on CDE can be found in
Common Desktop Environment: User's Guide.
The previous
DECwindows session manager is still available, as well as DECwindows applications
such as
dxsession,
dxconsole,
dxkeycaps, and
dxterm.
DIGITAL UNIX also includes PostScript and Display PostScript from Adobe Systems Inc.
All X Window System files in DIGITAL UNIX are located in the standard
directories, such as
/usr/bin/X11
and
/usr/lib/X11.
See
Section 2.3
for lists of the X Window
System files and their locations.
CDE files can be found in the/usr/dt
directory.
This chapter lists windowing system documentation for end users, system administrators, and programmers. Chapter 2 discusses system administration topics; Chapter 3 explains how to customize X Window System resources; Chapter 4 contains programming information.
The X Window System environment is used by three different audiences: end users, system administrators, and programmers. Some of the windows documentation that each of these groups can use is written by Digital; other pieces come from outside publishers. Some books from outside publishers are provided as part of the DIGITAL UNIX hardcopy documentation set.
The following list summarizes the available documentation. For further information, see the Documentation Overview, Glossary, and Master Index.
