DEC was pushing their "PDP" series of minis as being able to connect to PCs through "
DECwindows" software, pictured below.
She has worked on such products as
DECwindows Motif, POSIX Threads, and Fortran.
Phase II extends All-in-One to a client-server architecture and provides support for a broad range of desktop clients, including MS-DOS, OS/2 and Macintosh personal computers,
DECwindows VMS and UNIX workstation, Digital video terminals and IBM 3270 devices.
To address the problems of information islands and user-interface overload, software vendors must ensure that all their programs adhere to one user interface, and adhere as much as possible to established file-format and user-interface standards, such as
DECwindows and MS-DOS Windows.
It also works with all available PLC software packages, Digital Equipment's
DECwindows via plug-in Ethernet controllers, and
DECwindows Display Facility software.
Digital's
DECwindows, Hewlett-Packard's New Wave, and Apollo's Open Dialogue are proprietary versions of the X-Window System that include both the display software and associated programming kit.
