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. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Andrew Patrick, Ph.D. Communications Research Center, Ottawa, CANADA (613) 990-4675 patrick@crcmar.UUCP uunet!ai.toronto.edu!utgpu!bnr-vpa!bnr-rsc!crcmar!patrick INTERNET: dgbt@ncs.dnd.ca BITNET: patrick%crcmar@utorgpu ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

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. ---Bob -- Bob Palowoda Work: {sun,decwrl,pyramid}!megatest!palowoda Home: {sun,pryamid}aeras!grinch!legends!fiver!palowoda BBS: (415)796-3686 2400/1200 Voice:(415)745-7749

Just how compatiable are they? No. DEC buys PC clones from Tandy and puts the DEC name on them. So they are probably as compatible as Tandy's. Fred Sullivan SUNY at Binghamton Dept. Math.
