[Simh] EXT :Re: 8-bit pseudocolor on modern Windows PC?

[Hittner, David T (IS)]

Pathworks 32 7.4 was the last published version and is certified for WinXP; the Pathworks 7.2 eXcursion X server never ran quite right on WinXP due to the screen driver changes.
Pathworks 32 7.4 also ran well on Win7 at least in basic mode - it was a bit weird with Aero themes or transparency enabled - I think I may have had to tweak the application video compatibility.
I haven't tried Pathworks 32 7.4  on Win10. 

I left the unsupported Pathworks 32 environments for the supported Attachmate terminal emulator and Xwindow server.

FWIW, I seem to remember someone saying that PuTTY can do X pretty well with the free XMing X Server.

It is part of the OpenVMS distribution at least through VAX and AXP V7.3.  It should be part of the hobbyist program.

It is a retired and unsupported product.  HP never made any changes to it at least through V7.2.  I seem to remember that V7.3 was under development but never completed.

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