Gérard,
Others have replied about monochrome VAXstations, and if you just want a 
windowing interface as a step up to VT220, that's the way to go.

If you want to run any serious DECwindows applications, particularly any 
reliant on colour , then you need the recent implementations of the VCB02 
(Dragon) GPX graphics devices by Matt Burke that were merged into the SimH 
mainstream a couple of months ago.

I've successfully used the VAXstation 3100 model 38 implementation as it 
corresponds to a mid-life VAXstation implementation that we used a lot at work. 
It seems to be fine, until you open and then push a full-screen window, at 
which point the font cache gets corrupted and reading screen menus becomes 
'interesting'.

Regards,

Subject: [Simh] dec windows with simh

Hello,

I have used for a long time the simh emulation of microvax 3900. I need now to 
install and run DEC Windows on it.

Do you think it is possible? And is there a better simh VAX model for that?

Thanks,

Gérard Calliet
