This might be useful...

- if you are trying to debug a VPLUS program on MPE/iX and need to
redirect the forms display to another session LDEV on the same or
another 3000, which does not need to be a nailed DTC LDEV as needed
with the classic "FILE termfile;DEV=nnn" aproach.

- if you are trying to migrate a program to Unix or Linux, but want
to keep the calls to the VPLUS user interface during the first steps
of porting or testing (by redirecting the VPLUS dialog to a 3000).

Find a few more details and downloads at...

This is open source software and comes with no kind of guarantees.
It worked for me as far as I used it, but your mileage may vary.

Contributions to this little project are highly welcome (eg source
code patches or enhancements, additional tools, better documentation,
example programs, etc etc).

I haven't tried the client part on Solaris or Linux so far, but it
does seem to work on MPE/iX and HP-UX (at least for what I used).

Oh, by the way, the intercepted intrinsics include VBLOCKWRITE and
VBLOCKREAD, but I didn't have test programs at hand, so there is yet
another area where you could contribute (programs or test feedback).

Regards, Lars.
