This is a release of XSCOPE/VMS 1.0.  XSCOPE is a diagnostic tool for 
debugging X Window Transport problems.  This version of XSCOPE supports
both TCP/IP (via MultiNet) and DECnet.  Later releases will support other
vendor's VMS TCP/IP implementations.  If you desired to add this support
please send me the updated source code.

This posting contains 8 VMS Shar files.  It is also available via anonymous
FTP from PUBLIC.TGV.COM under [.mahan] as a VMS Backup Saveset.

Below is the README.VMS file.

                                      1.0

Description

  This is a version of XSCOPE for VMS.  It supports both DECnet and TCP/IP
  transports and fully compatible with the X11 protocol.  For a description
  of how XSCOPE works see the file README.;

Where to get XScope/VMS

  XScope/VMS is distributed as both a VMS Shar file and a VMS Backup Saveset.
  The VMS Shar file is posted to vmsnet.sources and the VMS Backup Saveset
  is available from PUBLIC.TGV.COM under [.MAHAN].

Building Xscope/VMS

  After unpacking the VMS Shar file, or the VMS Backup Saveset, issue the
  command @MAKE.COM to compile and link both xscope programs.  This build
  produces at least one executable and maybe two if you have MultiNet 
  installed on your system.  DNXSCOPE.EXE is the DECnet version of XSCOPE.
  It requires the following privileges to run: NETMBX, TMPMBX and SYSNAM.
  IPXSCOPE.EXE is the TCP/IP version built using TGV's MultiNet Socket library,
  though it should easily any of the current VMS TCP/IP vendor's socket
  libraries.

  After building the executables, simply define the executables as foreign
  commands.

User Help

  Currently the only help provided is the original Unix man page provided
  with XSCOPE.

Restrictions

  The DECnet version requires SYSNAM privilege.  This is due to the nature
  of DECnet objects which require the ability to create system wide logical
  names.

  The TCP/IP version is built using TGV's MultiNet.  Hopefully, somebody
  will convert it to support other vendor's VMS TCP/IP libraries as well.
  If you do, I would like the modified source sent back to me.  One small
  caveat, the other vendor's TCP/IP must be a fairly full implementation
  of the standard socket library.  To see what I did for MultiNet, look
  for the #ifdef MULTINET lines in the .C files.

  Please report any bugs or enhancements to me.
