(5316) UIS? (VWS vs UIS-Archive)

[User]

Is there a product called UIS for any version of VMS that provides data archiving capabilities? I would like to have some documentation on its capabilities.

The OpenVMS Wizard is familiar with an early windowing system used for OpenVMS VAX workstations -- the VAX Workstation Software (VWS) package, a predecessor of DECwindows -- and VWS provided a programming interface known as UIS. Later versions of VWS (eg V4.3) also provide an API known as VAXuisx or UISX, an interface that allows various UIS applications to display on the DECwindows X Windows interface.

Various VWS/UIS topics include (3183), (4177), (5316), and (9916).

The OpenVMS Wizard is also familiar with a UIS-ARCHIVE package that was available from a company known as Raxco/UIS.
