- Did you also install Motif on your Ultrix system? I experienced the same
- telescoped DECterm windows as displayed on MY VS3100 w/ 5.4-2 & DECwindows,
- AFTER I installed Motif on Ultrix.
-
- The two workarounds (as reported in DSNlink) are:
-
- - EITHER install Motif on your VMS system and use mwm there,
- - OR Set the autoResizeWindow resource to off on ULTRIX by adding
- the following to $HOME/default.DECterm:
-
- DXterm.main.terminal.autoResizeTerminal: off
