FreeAXP ALPHA emulator and functional CDE desktop
Posted: Wed Dec 27, 2023 12:21 am
Hello,
I have recently installed OpenVMS 9.2-1 in VirtualBox on Windows 10.
I discovered that the CDE desktop is broken - only DECWindows Motif works.
This problem may not be fixed in the "near" future.
I've done some searches and found that a free ALPHA emulator named
FreeAXP exists for Windows 10. It can run OpenVMS with a functional CDE desktop.
The installation is detailed here viewtopic.php?t=176
If I decide to try this, I have a couple of questions.
Do I need another "community" version license for this ALPHA emulator?
Second, I found an article on raymii.org regarding this emulation here
https://raymii.org/s/blog/OpenVMS_CDE_D ... xpbox.html
It starts with this boldfaced claim:
This post is over two years old. It may no longer be up to date. Opinions may have changed.
Well, does anyone know whether opinions may have changed?
Thanks
