Okay, let's see who really has weird software.
This is being posted for a site not on the net.  Please forward
responses directly to me.

The site has two perkin-elmer systems (8/32 and 3240) which will run
some form of Unix in the near future (PEs or TWG or something).
Connected to this is an Ikonas system running a v7 system.  The connection
(the strange situation) is via a large image memory (frame buffer).
These people (who run flight simulators) would like to perform
things like file transfer between the PEs (currently running OS/32)
and the Ikonas.  At this time, it is not even possible to perform tape
or disk backup (very shaky).  I know very little about PEs.  Eventually,
some SUN workstations and an Ethernet will be installed (as will and E&S CT5A
system), but the problem is file transfer using a frame buffer.  Anybody
have anything? (Don't forget the receiving side currently runs OS/32).

Tough nut to crack.
