VSI Software offers DECwindows Motif, a GUI for OpenVMS systems. This client-server software allows users to interact with applications on OpenVMS servers. The system utilizes the X Window System, with the server residing on the desktop. Clients, such as desktop applications and X utilities, generate the graphical interface users see.

DECwindows Motif supports various network transports including Local, LAT, DECnet, and TCP/IP. The latest versions are available for Alpha, Integrity, and x86 architectures. Key components include desktop applications, X Window System utilities, and programming libraries like Xlib, Xt, and OSF/Motif toolkit. Documentation and downloads are also provided.

OpenVMS's availability on x86/64 architecture offers a modern and reliable platform for running software. The migration to x86 provides an updated option for utilizing the legacy GUI interface. This is important for organizations still reliant on OpenVMS systems.

With the continued relevance of legacy systems in various industries, the update provides a bridge for older technology. Users can now consider modernizing their legacy systems while still maintaining the functionality of the DECwindows Motif interface.
