/ATOMS

   /ATOMS=file-specification

   Specifies the file that the proxy server should use for atoms
   control. The file SYS$MANAGER:DECW$ATOMCONTROL.TEMPLATE contains
   an example of an atom control file. This qualifier cannot be
   specified if the NOATOMS or NOLBX option is specified for the
   /OPTIONS qualifier.

   The default is /ATOMS=SYS$MANAGER:DECW$ATOMCONTROL.DAT.
   However, effectively the default is not to use atom
   control, because the installation process does not convert
   the SYS$MANAGER:DECW$ATOMCONTROL.TEMPLATE file to the
   SYS$MANAGER:DECW$ATOMCONTROL.DAT file.

   At startup, the LBX proxy server "pre-interns" the atoms
   specified in the atom control file. The atom control file also
   controls when the proxy server should delay sending data to the X
   server. This is done by specifying the following:

   o  Minimum data length required before the server delays any
      data.

   o  Which atoms should be delayed only when a window manager is
      running on the same connection.

   The format of the atom control file is documented in the
   SYS$MANAGER:DECW$ATOMCONTROL.TEMPLATE file.
