As a hobbyist, I successfully run VMS on a Simh emulated VAX (actually on a
Raspberry Pi, but that’s irrelevant). I’m doing some software archeology trying
to preserve some historic software which produced maps and charts on
VAXstations and AlphaStations. This used 8-bit pseudocolor graphics,

I know you want to do this will Windows, but have you explored a different
OS such as Mac OSx, FreeBSD or Linux on an Intel platform. I said this
because I think you may find more X support there. The later is now the
"home" for the X team and are more likely to get help from the developers

Have you investigated using eXcursion? It was provided with VMS/OpenVMS
distributions on the Pathworks CD.
To install it from the Pathworks CD, only install eXcursion. Do not attempt to
install any other item from that CD. Once installed, zip the c:\WIN32APP
directory. It contains everythin

Sounds interesting, but as a hobbyist, how can I get hold of the Pathworks CD,
or a download of the eXcursion component from it?

Looks like we already discussed this a few years ago and someone had
actually started a QDSS emulator.

Not sure if they've made any progress since then, but I'd expect it to be a

Yes, I’d seen that previously. His web site doesn’t indicate any further
