Dirk,
We mostly run v8.x of Hummingbird on the current crop of WinXP machines. When
upgraded to the new PCs, we were told by OpenText that v8.x will not run on
Windows 7, that's why we have to upgrade to the current version of Hummingbird,
v14.
And we have not had any problems, especially like this one, with our current
version of eXceed connecting to AW51B/Ds and WP51Ds.

Hi Duc,
We're also on Win7's with exceed 9.0 connecting to Sun AW51 E's and WP51 D's
9.0 works ok, including VT100. No problem installing on Win7. Our exceed's are
installed with a default setting, using rlogin , Xwindow and exec /opt/ia/go_dm
script.
You don't happen to have an older version? If you have the same problem with
the old version, the problem is not Exceed related, but maybe win 7 related.

List,
We have a peculiar problem trying to implement Hummingbird eXceed v14 on
Windows 7 PCs (a mandated upgrade from XP). The I/A side is still Display
Managers running on Sun boxes as we have had them for years. (And this
combination probably makes ours a unique scenario.)
After much tweaking, most everything works for displaying remote DMs on the
local Win7 PCs, except for initiating a VT100 session with the "VT100.local"
option under "SftMnt" on the top menu bar. The selection executes a short dmcmd
script:
04AW01# more VT100.local
dmcmd script
dmcmd run $FOX/bin/VT100.script
and this has always worked reliably since time immemorial. Until now. You click
the selection, the usual message "Local Application Startup" appears on the
message area at the top, and ... nothing happens.
What's peculiar about this problem is all other remote draw applications
(Display Build, Display Config, Control Configurator, etc.) work without a
hitch.
BTW, corporate IT locks these PCs down pretty tight with the local Windows
Firewall, but we managed to sweet talk them into completely undo all the
restrictions for testing, so I am convinced, at this point, that Windows
Firewall is not the culprit.
Has any list member encountered such an error? Any solution? Appreciate all
hints and suggestions.
Regards,
Duc
