Yes, it's insanely great, but the Mac end of it in unMac-like.  If you want
to program the Unix machine, you'll want a Mac interface (CUT and paste,
double-clicking, and inserting in the middle of a word you just mis-typed.)
	For this get dumb virtue (it uses the Unix end of uw):

Version 1.0 was posted a year or so ago; avoid it, it crashed most of the
time.  1.1 isn't as solid as uw, but if you need a multi-window Mac
terminal, it's the only way to go.
