    UW is a multi-window terminal emulator package written by
John Brun(n?)er.  It has appeared on the net several times.  It
has to have a server running on the UNIX end as well as a special Mac
program.
    If anybody *really* needs a multi-finder compatible uw, I have
a pretty crude home-made one I could probablymail out.

    As for people whining and casting aspersions 
because they don't happen to know what some term means, a curteous 
plea for a definition is usually a lot more likely to get a useful 
result than just carping is (although the latter seems to
have gotten the job done in this case, I guess).
