Hi guys, This might seem incredibly far fetched, but I thought about the following: Would it be possible to rewrite the Graphics library, so that certain screens, rather then to the normal screen, get send over the serial port. I can see a task keeping track of the screens, so the user can decide whether a screen needs to go to the serial port or not. Screens that are send to the serial port, need to be encoded in something like a tek4000 graphics terminal code, and mouse and keystrokes need to come from the terminal. If something like this would be feasible, you get something similar to Xwindows i guess, and AMIGA would be the first PC with graphics terminal STATIONS. That is something much better then a PRODIGY terminal, or VT100. I can see many applications, like mutiple users on one amiga. Graphics on one screen, the controls on the other. a remote terminal, say in class orso. A large screen in front of class, someone contolling it elsewhere. Two people playing games on a terminal and the original screen, etc,etc Think about, and I would be glad to post a summary of answers.
