Is anyone out there writing a port of Xterm for the mgr windowing
system?
If it isn't needed, meaning I've missed some way for a remote machine
to spawn new shell windows, please tell me. I plan to run this on
client on my school's main computer while having mgr run on my local
3B1.
Thanks in advance.

MGR does its own terminal emulation; it doesn't need an external terminal emulator. So you can just run a shell directly in an MGR window, without a middleman. This is faster, and is part of what makes it possible to run MGR on the Unix PC.

I may be wrong, but I don't think there is any way for a remote program with no connection to MGR to establish a connection. You can multiplex windows over a single connection, though. So you can log in and run a remote program that starts up multiple shells, multiplexing their inputs and outputs onto the single connection. -- Norman Yarvin yarvin-norman@cs.yale.edu
