PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
Bristol Technology, Inc.'s Wind/U V3.0 for OpenVMS operating system is a
developer's tool for porting applications to OpenVMS and is an
implementation of Microsoft's Windows APIs under DECwindows Motif for
OpenVMS. Wind/U V3.0 for OpenVMS allows developers to code to Windows
APIs and then compile the same source on Windows and then on OpenVMS or
UNIX systems. Wind/U V3.0 for OpenVMS runs on OpenVMS V6.2 or later.
Key features
o Implementation of Win32 in Wind/U V3.0 for OpenVMS is closely analogous

capabilities to Windows applications.
o XPrinter software adds sophisticated printing capabilities to OpenVMS or
UNIX based applications.

3.51 and Windows 95 operating systems, including tree view, list view,
progress bars, header, tab controls, and toolbars.

HyperHelp is industry-standard software for creating OpenVMS- or
UNIX-based online help systems with WinHelp functionality. HyperHelp is a
complementary product to the Wind/U V3.0 for OpenVMS development kit and
will be sold separately by Bristol Technology, Inc. Bristol Technology,
Inc., has also implemented Digital's License Management Facility (LMF)
software.
