I can't get uw to work under Multifinder. Works just fine without MF being active, but with MF going, it doesn't even get its menus put up. I have an SE, and am running the latest system software (obviously). I'm using uw version 4.1. Is anybody successfully using uw under Multifinder? ---- Steve Dorner, U of Illinois Computing Services Office Internet: dorner@uxc.cso.uiuc.edu UUCP: ihnp4!uiucuxc!dorner IfUMust: (217) 333-3339

Yes. I'm using uw4.1 on an SE with System 4.1/Finder 6.0 and a beta version of MF (1.0b6). (As an aside, we can't get System Tools 5.0 in the UK until early next year, unless you know different to me !) UW runs but I do character losses at 9600 baud. I can't work out why, and I'm not convinced its UW's fault. I wrote to John Bruner, the author, who says other people were reporting the same problem. Simon.

I can't get uw to work under MF 1.0 either, but it worked
just fine under Juggler 1.0b2. If your problem is the same
as mine, the menus don't appear & many (most) characters just
print as blanks.
An interim fix is go back to Juggler, if you can stand the
instability.

STOP IT! If you're going to toss meaningless acronyms around the net,
please be kind enough to tell us what they mean. What does "uw" mean?

What does "uw" mean? > UW is a multi-window terminal emulator package written by John Brun(n?)er. It has appeared on the net several times. It has to have a server running on the UNIX end as well as a special Mac program. If anybody *really* needs a multi-finder compatible uw, I have a pretty crude home-made one I could probablymail out. As for people whining and casting aspersions because they don't happen to know what some term means, a curteous plea for a definition is usually a lot more likely to get a useful result than just carping is (although the latter seems to have gotten the job done in this case, I guess).

UW isn't an acronym, it's a name. UW is a multiple-window terminal interface to (BSD) UNIX. The most recently distributed version is v4.1, but -- as people have said -- it doesn't work under Multifinder. I was surprised by this because it did work under Multifinder 1.0b6, and I was quite embarrassed to discover that it doesn't work because it lacks a call to "InitFonts". This error appears to have been there since the earliest versions (to my great chagrin). I do not know why UW seems to lose output at 9600 baud. I am still trying to reproduce this problem so that I can track it down. I have been working on other things and letting UW slide, but I will endeavour to distribute a maintenance release (probably v4.2) in January which will be Multifinder-compatible and will (I hope) perform flow control properly again. I have plans for one more significant set of revisions, but the close relationship between the host and client software makes it more difficult for me to test and debug new code than a Mac-only program would be. Hence, the more significant changes are still on hold.... -- John Bruner (S-1 Project, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory) jdb@mordor.s1.gov ...!seismo!mordor!jdb (415) 423-4848

I didn't really mean to sound malicious or bent out of shape. Perhaps
mildly irritated and flaming about it best describes my message. Next
time I will try to be a little more courteous -- I wasn't attacking
any *person* in particular.
So: Please try to define unidentifiable acronyms when you send
questions to the net. Otherwise, we sometimes can't even identify if
you're talking about a piece of hardware, or a piece of software.
Thank you very much.
