        uwtools works just fine even with this simple version. I am
attaching the man page for uw and uwtool for the Vax end, as it was not
distributed. If anyone needs the source for the Vax end, please mail me.

NAME
     uw	- unix windowing system	for Macintosh

SYNOPSIS
     uw
     uwtool [ process ]	[ arg1 arg2 ...	 ]

DESCRIPTION
     Uw	is a server program on unix that works with the	program
     uw	on the Macintosh.  It creates a	pseudo-terminal	for each
     window, giving the	user up	to seven `terminals' to	work
     with.  The	host program multiplexes the output onto one
     RS-232 line.

     Uw	(on the	unix system) with uw on	the Macintosh emulate a
     Lear Siegler ADM-31 terminal (tset	adm31),	a Tektronix 4010,
     and a DEC VT52. Each window (on the Macintosh) has	its own
     terminal emulation	and can	be resized at will; the	program
     keeps an 80x24 line display in memory for each window, but
     only shows	the lower left portion possible.

     Uwtool can	be executed from unix while running uw to create
     a new window/`terminal.'  If no arguments are given, it
     creates a new `terminal' running csh.  If a process is
     named, it will create a new window	with that process running
     in	it, and	when that process is terminated	the window will
     disappear.	 (i.e. `uwtool vi foo' will create a new window
     with vi, editing the file foo, but	the window will	go away
     when vi is	exited)	Any arguements after the process name are
     passed as arguements to that process.

LIMITATIONS
     Uw	and uwtool are of no use on unix unless	uw is being run
     on	the Macintosh.
     If	there is a stream of output in one window there	will be
     lag in recognizing	characters typed in another.

SEE ALSO
     uw	documentation distributed with the Macintosh program.
