I'm using it at this very moment. The version I'm using was developed by Hans-Martin Mosner (unido!hmm) of the Federal Republic of Germany. It is freeware (not public domain) and includes sources. >What exactly does UW do?

Each terminal session runs in a dedicated window (on the MAC). The most recent MAC version has terminal emulations for the Adm31, VT52, VT100, and Tektronix 4010. Mouse support and remote window creation is also provided. The ST version is a very basic implementation, with only adm31 emulation and none of the other goodies. It must use XON/XOFF occasionally when scrolling short to medium lines at 2400 baud. One of my colleages and I are investigating several improvements to improve performance and functionality. -- Brian Katzung ihnp4!laidbak!katzung
