GNS_TNI - Translate name to an IDI device specification

Description:
The workstation name is translated to an IDI workstation type, and a physical device name.

Invocation:
CALL GNS_TNI( NAME, TYPE, DEVICE, STATUS )

Arguments:

NAME = CHARACTER*(*) (Given)
Workstation name
TYPE = CHARACTER*(*) (Returned)
IDI workstation type
DEVICE = CHARACTER*(*) (Returned)
Device name
STATUS = INTEGER (Given and Returned)
The global status

Notes:
IIDOPN requires a GNS workstation name as its name argument which is translated by IIDOPN calling GNS_TNI; GNS_TNI is therefore not normally called by applications programs.
Side Effects
A GWM window with an overlay may be created.
