The 5620 is a large-screen expensive terminal, but we've just announced a couple of smaller cheap terminals, the 615 and 620. You get 6 windows, and a pseudo-tty environment where all the windows can be active at once. (Your keyboard belongs to one window at a time, but all the windows get updated.) Overlap gets handled automagically. The 5620 (powered by an AT&T 32100 CPU) and the 620 (Z80? 8086?) are bit-mapped graphics terminals; the 615 is character-mapped and gives you 3 windows. # Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 2G-202, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs ---------- (End)
