I just got a copy of UW for the Amiga, and I have three questions about it: 1> Are docs available for it? I have only an executable. 2> Is source available for it? 3> What terminal is it emulating? It definitely is NOT an ansi terminal in its windows. <MC> -- Mark C. Carroll | a man in black on a snow white horse. Rutgers University CS Student | a pointless life has run its course.

In article <16843@topaz.rutgers.edu>, Mike Carrol ask some questions about Unix
Windows, or UW. This is the second time I've seen this software mentioned on
the net. Can anybody tell me what it is? I use Unix quite frequently via
dialup from my Amiga, and this UW sounds intriguing.
Be seing you...

Unix Windows can be found on Fred Fish disk #79. What system does UW require and does it require special drivers?

It requires the uw server on the host UNIX system. The Amiga port only supports ANSI terminal emulation, and no file transfer or other fancy stuff. The sources and the binary are ftpable from j.cc.purdue.edu. Someone posted a termcap quite a while ago that almost works. I fixed one little bug in it, but vi is still capable of freaking it out. Anyone have a better one? I've been meaning to look through the source and interpolate a proper termcap that way, but ya know... What this world really needs is for someone to add the uw protocol to VT100v2.7, and extend the script language to support more sophisticated pattern matching and flow control. Who, ME!? Hey, I'm supposed to be doing RESEARCH. 8-} ______________________________________________________________________________ /_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/_____/ |_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____| _No dark sarcasm in the classroom|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|___ |____Teachers leave the kids alone__|_____|_____|bryan@mothra.cs.utexas.edu___| ___|_____|_____|_____|___{ihnp4,seismo,...}!ut-sally!mothra.cs.utexas.edu!bryan |_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|_____|

You can have up to seven amiga windows all talking to their own process on a host machine. The seven is a very hard limit as the protocol encodes a channel number in three bits, and channel zero is a control channel. This program was originally done on a MAC. Most MAC users i know do not use it much, since they do not like to turn their whole machine over to terminal emulation. Of course that is not a problem on the Amiga. The source can be had via ftp from asc.purdue.edu for the Amiga end. I got the Unix end from somewhere at stanford (su-score comes to mind) via anonymous ftp. If you have trouble with these let me now and i will put uw in louie.udel.edu's ftp directory. Anyway, uw is nice, i use it. My local unix-side version has been hacked to directly support an Amiga termcap entry rather than the strange 'ansi' one that comes standard. ron -- ron (rminnich@udel.edu)
