I know some others were asking so for the record to get DECwindows
running you need to install the DECwindows kit and the appropriate
licence (DW-MOTIF). You also need to set the WINDOW_SYSTEM parameter
in SYSGEN. This has three settings:
0 - No Window System
1 - DECwindows
2 - VWS
I'll have to remember this . And a few other items I've lost along the
way .
If you want a VAX that supports the QVSS as a console then you'll need
to use the VAXstation I or VAXstation II simulators (microvax1, microvax2).

Thank you , (#1, for not rubbing my nose in it) and the guidence along
the way .
One (poss.) odd question is it possible to scale up the qvss window so
that it might (as close as possible) fit a new age screen ? I understand there
is
physical limitation in the emulation in order to maintain appropriate original
function . But am hoping I might be able to scale the output for less eye abuse
Well, the QVSS display has a specific number of pixels total (1024x864). This
cannot be changed. In theory, a 2X pixel size could be scaled to fit on a high
resolution display. We may look at that after a new batch of changes to the
simh
video functionality have been digested. This would not be a high priority.
Hmmm , Using even fractions 1+(1/2, 1/4, 1/8)*Resolution at least shows
a result of a pure integer number of pixels ... Only showing 1/2 & 1/4 's .
Very NOT sure how well those'd work out tho ...
1024*1.25 = 1280.00 (most sold monitors)
864*1.25 = 1080.00
1024*1.50 = 1536.00 (2K and above maybe)
864*1.50 = 1296.00
1024*1.75 = 1792.00 (3K iirc )
864*1.75 = 1512.00
1024*2.00 = 2048.00 (4K Definately)
864*2.00 = 1728.00
Meanwhile, the latest code now displays a useful failure message rather than
any SEGFAULT when the conditions you created happen.

Thank you . I'll have to arrange for a new pull to be sent to me snail
mail , I live on the far end of a very limited use link .
