There seems to be a lot of interest in a simple, yet elegant, transparent multiple window access scheme where the windows to a UNIX box appear on the ST which is connected over a serial line. There have also been any number of claims about UNIX windows, although no one seems to have the source for the server side(binaries would be useless). Given the high level of interest, I would like to start a team programming project to write such a window system, which multiplexes input and output between windows on an ST and independent processes on a UNIX system which are connected across a serial line. I have given this a _LOT_ of thought, so the real issue is just getting people to help me implement it, as I do not have the time to code the whole thing myself. Any takers?

Try "ftp mordor.s1.gov" on the Internet. "cd uw". There you are. Now you can work on getting the client to run on color systems. :) --- This message is a figment of your imagination.

Seems to be working fine for me. I am running uw right now. I have a shell in another window and rn in this one. I got the sources from him1. Oh... it only works in mono.

UW (unix windows) works quite well (a little slow) with my only beef being the choice of the adm31a emulation (my arrow keys won't work). I'd much rather see a version with vt100 emulation with the ST's arrow keys appropriately acconted for. As for X-windows- A PD or shareware hook into X11 on a unix machine would be GREAT! How about X-window commands from a UNIX (connected through the midi ports) driving GEM windows?

It seems to be available on fileserv@irlearn.bitnet, a mac server. (Don't forget uw is originally a Macintosh thing). Send a message with 'help' to fileserv@irlearn.bitnet. By the way, last time I was on bitnet, irlearn had a twin brother on PUCC.bitnet on the other side of the pond.
