	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-}
