The version of DECW$TRANSPORT_COMMON.EXE that gets installed with
Motif apparently has a different minor ID number (%x0D rather than %0C
I believe) than "vanilla" DECwindows, so DECwindows code linked on a
Motif system won't work on an older DECwindows system, even if even the
VMS versions are the same and no Motif features are used. Someone posted
to one of the VMS newsgroups that it was possible to patch the image
header of the program in question (ie, emacs.exe or whatever this one is
called) so that it specifies the lower ID number. You should be able to
accomplish that with PATCH/ABSOLUTE or the public domain VFE utility.
