If you are looking for a project, here is one which I think would be GREAT! There is a pgm written for Mac, Atari, Amiga (I think) and probably IBM PC called UW (stands for Unix Windows). It uses the personal computer's windowing capabilities to provide a multiplexing 4 window channel to a BSD based unix system. Basically, you log in with one window, then the BSD system sends back commands to tell UW to open the up to 4 login windows. It is a neat setup, which allows downloading in one window while doing other things in the other windows. You should be able to find the source code on any of the many Mac archive sites. having a multi-windowing comm pgm to Unix would be beneficial to many folks out there I would think... -- Larry W.

Only offered adm-3a emulation, which made it a pain to telnet to a VAX from the Unix box. 2.) If your downloading in a window, don't plan on doing anything else in any window. 3.) It only works with 4.2 and 4.3 version of Unix, not system V If you really want to do it, a better prg is screen, for the Unix systems. It works with any term prg on your end... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ryan 'Gozar' Collins ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ o__)\ rlcollins@miavx1.BITNET / ) RC1DSANU@miamiu.acs.muohio.edu / / ____ R.COLLINS1 (On GEnie) /(____/__(_) o)_/ /) [ || ] Atari Computers, "There is no Substitute."
