This is the second time I've seen this software mentioned on =-the net. Can anybody tell me what it is? I use Unix quite frequently via =-dialup from my Amiga, and this UW sounds intriguing. =- UW (Unix Windows) is a port of a terminal emulator originally written for the Macintosh that allows up to seven simultaneous sessions, each in its own window. It requires the uw server on the host UNIX system. The Amiga port only supports ANSI terminal emulation, and no file transfer or other fancy stuff. The sources and the binary are ftpable from j.cc.purdue.edu. Someone posted a termcap quite a while ago that almost works. I fixed one little bug in it, but vi is still capable of freaking it out. Anyone have a better one? I've been meaning to look through the source and interpolate a proper termcap that way, but ya know... What this world really needs is for someone to add the uw protocol to VT100v2.7, and extend the script language to support more sophisticated pattern matching and flow control. Who, ME!? Hey, I'm supposed to be doing RESEARCH. 8-} ______________________________________________________________________________ /_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/ |_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____| _No dark sarcasm in the classroom|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|___ |____Teachers leave the kids alone__|_____|_____|bryan@mothra.cs.utexas.edu___| ___|_____|_____|_____|___{ihnp4,seismo,...}!ut-sally!mothra.cs.utexas.edu!bryan |_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|
