A while back, someone mentioned that they had a window manager
for UNIX that was similar to the "screen" package that was posed
last year, but allowed such things as talks to come through to
a window. If anyone has access to this, I would most appreciate
getting a copy. I think it had a fairly high functionality, but
all I really need is something that will allow me multiple full
screen windows, that are efficent, non-blocking, and will allow
talk requests to come through.
Thanks in advance,
S. John Banner

How about ``screen''? Its current version does allow ``talk requests to
come through'', if being able to initiate and answer talk requests is what
this phrase means. The initial version did not update /etc/utmp (and thus
avoided some non-portabilities), but Oliver Laumann upgraded it later on
(providing different #ifdefs for 4.2BSD and 4.3BSD). If I'm not totally
mistaken, this patch was published in comp.sources.unix about a month after
the original version.
