[net.usoft] VIRTUAL TERMINAL

dce@ihnss.UUCP (Dan Easley) (11/02/84)

Wanted:  A driver for UN*X 4.0 which will permit multiple processes
to each have a virtual terminal in one window of a graphics
terminal.  I basically need a BLIT like facility for a BLIT like
terminal, except that I can't download code into the terminal.
I am already aware of Blewett's "Hmmm" and Veach's "windows", both
of which are processes using multiple pipes.  I'm also aware of
Horton's "window" (which requires "select" and "pty" from 4.2BSD),
and UN*X 5.2's "xt" and "sty" driver's (but I'm running 4.0).
A UN*X 4.0 facility similar to select (a multiplexor which hangs
on *multiple* files) or pty (pseudo tty) would also by helpful.
Thanks!
