Word processing and graphics on OpenVMS?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Yes! maybe someone can help here.
I need an Office sofrwear poackage with Word processing and graphics
package.  Somewhat like MS office, hopefully compatable with MS Office.
This is to be mounted on DEC 5000/600.
Freewear would be best, however, I probly could get the army to spring for
it.
By the way I need this for an army system called ASAS.
Is there any thing out there?
I can't find anything except system Admid stuff.
 
By the way thanks in advance.
 
Jeff
 
 


The Answer is :

 
  The Wizard will assume this is the DEC 3000 model 600, as there is no
  Alpha system known as the DEC 5000 model 600.
 
  The Wizard is not aware of any package directly similar to Microsoft
  Office targeted for OpenVMS, though packages such as DECwrite -- which
  supports both text and graphics work -- are available, and the DECwindows
  Paint tool is part of the DECwindows packages, including DECwindows Motif
  CDE.  Standard and optional text editors are also available with OpenVMS.
 
  DECwrite includes DECchart, and an equation editor.
 
  DECwrite, with optional the CDA converter library package, can read and
  write RTF files.
 
  The Wizard would recommend contacting your Compaq sales representative,
  or the folks at 1-800-DIGITAL, for additional information and options.
