There seems to be a lot of interest in a simple, yet elegant, transparent
multiple window access scheme where the windows to a UNIX box appear on the ST
which is connected over a serial line.

There have also been any number of claims about UNIX windows, although no one
seems to have the source for the server side(binaries would be useless).

Given the high level of interest, I would like to start a team programming
project to write such a window system, which multiplexes input and output
between windows on an ST and independent processes on a UNIX system which are
connected across a serial line.  I have given this a _LOT_ of thought, so the
real issue is just getting people to help me implement it, as I do not have the
time to code the whole thing myself.

Any takers?

	Cheers,

		Antony
