Can anyone tell me where I can find the unix source to UW? jeff jra1@ra.msstate.edu

You can find the UNIX sources for uw on sumex-aim.stanford.edu in the files info-mac/unix/uw-42-part[1-8].shar which includes both UNIX sources and a binhex version of UW 4.2. You might also look at info-mac/comm/maclayers* which works a fair bit like UW. The vt100 emulation is better than uw, and it supports downloading of files (which uw doesn't). It also supports ioctls for resizing of windows which is a real win. Cheers, Mark

re uw & MacLayers, do these programs give a nice mac interface to unix? will they work through internet? (i.e. appletalk net to fastpath...) Thanks! -Brent

I am currently using uw v4.2, and I find it to be an invaluable tool.
However, it is lacking in a few features, like being able to upload/download
files, buffered output so you can scroll back through your session, etc.
I'd like to obtain an updated copy, if there exists a version that is
higher than 4.2 (which is dated January 31, 1988).
If a higher version does not exist, does anyone know if the source code
for the client-end of uw that is run on the Mac is available? Failing
that, does anyone know where the author, John D. Bruner, may be reached?
Any information would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
--Jerry

(I believe the source code to the Macintosh end of it was inadvertently lost!) However, there's another program that may do what you want. Try MacLayers (available from sumex). It does much the same things as uw did, only a bit more cleanly. It offers infinite scrollback, I believe (probably using a file on disk for temporary storage, but it works!). And it offers file transfer in the background! For those of you who aren't in the know: uw and MacLayers both let you open several sessions to a Unix machine at once through a modem. Both pretty well-done, but MacLayers was designed to do the things that uw didn't. << Brian >> | Brian S.

(I believe the source > code to the Macintosh end of it was inadvertently lost!) Gee, that's news to me. I could have sworn I was toying with it last week. :-) UW v4.2 is actually more than three years old now, and is the last version that I distributed. There were a lot of changes in my life (two job changes, a move from California to Illinois, getting married), and it moved to the back burner. The burner was never extinguished, but the flame has been pretty low. I have never distributed the source code for the client side, and (sorry) I'm unlikely to do so now. There is more that I want to do, and one more release I want to get out. Alas, that "one more" release has been in development since v4.2, and I can't really promise that it will see the light of day. [Besides, I'd really like to see what sort of an impact System 7.0 would have on a program like UW. Alas, my certified developer status lapsed a couple of years ago, so now I'm a poor slob who is undeserving of the developer CD's. I get the technical notes and "d e v e l o p", but it isn't the same.] -- John Bruner Center for Supercomputing R&D, University of Illinois bruner@csrd.uiuc.edu (217) 244-4476

He has not updated uw since 4.2. He would still like to do so, or so he has told me. To my knowledge, he has neither released or lost the source code to the Macintosh client.
