[comp.sys.mac.wanted] MacLayers

chas@stax.uchicago.edu (Charles Blair) (01/07/91)

I'm looking for the Mac hqx file. I've got the Unix side of Layers
installed already, but can't find a source for the Mac application.
(I've looked at all the ftp sites I can successfully get into.)

Thanks.

For those who don't know, MacLayers is a special terminal program for
the Mac that, along with software which runs on a UNIX host, allows you
to have multiple virtual terminals all active at the same time. The Mac
side is very well designed and is one of the best non-commercial pieces
of software I have found to be useful. One little thing that I
appreciate is a 7 point font that lets me comfortably (eyes willing) use
a 90 by 40 character terminal window. Slick work.

If you haven't found this yet... I can email you the hqx file for the Mac
application, but alas, no source code.  If you happen to have gotten the
source for the Mac application side, or a pointer to an FTP site with the
source... let me know PLEASE.  I'm using MacLayers from time to time and
there are some mods I'd like to see added.  Thanks.

I'm sure there are lots of changes and additions we'd all like to see
for MacLayers but the source code is not readily available. I've asked
and gotten a reply that the author doesn't have time to work on it right
now and he won't release the source code. :-(

If you'd like to register your desires, send mail to the address in the
about box!
