[comp.sys.ibm.pc] Unix windows with PC front end

adamb@boulder.Colorado.EDU (Adam 'Buzz' Beguelin) (09/26/88)

I have a PC-AT clone and I'm looking for software that 
will allow me connect to our local unix system and run
MULTIPLE shells in MULTIPLE windows at the same time.
There is a product
like this for the Macintosh called UW.  It consists of a 
piece of software that runs on the mac side and one
that runs on the unix side.  It's very useful if you spend 
a lot of time connected to unix systems.

Is there anything like this for the PC world?   Please email
me any pointers if you have them.

The closest thing I have found is to run SCREEN on the UNIX box.  It
allows you to create multiple shell windows, but each one is
full-screen in size.  You can toggle between the windows, leaving tasks
running.  You can also set-up a standard set of windows at
.login (e.g., one for mail, one for news, one for editing, etc.).  I
use it with PROCOMM in VT100 mode.

SCREEN is available in the comp.sources.unix archives.

I just saw DEC's X windows client server on their 286 and 386 PC clones.
It only functions as a DEC windows client - no PC X server yet.  
It does let you open [100s at this demo] of windows served by Unix and
vms servers.

     DEC makes PC clones? Just how compatiable are they?
     In anycase how much was the software package?

     I've seen Locus cost about 400.00 per PC. To me this kind of
     expensive sence Everex sells Unix V3.2 which include's
     the OS,compilier,text-processing, and X-windows for 299.00.

No. DEC buys PC clones from Tandy and puts the DEC name on them.

So they are probably as compatible as Tandy's.
