We finally got the DEC mouse working with X11 windows under Ultrix on the VAX 3540.

We are looking for software we can use to demonstrate the graphic capabilities of the 3540. BRL-CAD is open source and will run on a VAX, so that is a possibility. Suggestions?

Dan-II shows off his Ultrix and X11 skills.
