-What a utility! No 286 XENIX should be without this one. Its like having
-multi-screens at any terminal not just the console. Who's been keeping this
-program a secret?
-
-Thanks Larry for anonymous UUCP to get to it.

This package also runs fine under 2.3.2 (update R) on the 286, and
you don't need to install the pty stuff since 2.3.2 already has them.

2.3.2 also has mscreen which is similar, but I haven't figured out how
to get it working yet.  I tried the included wyse50 mscreencap entry
while using a wyse50e, but it just displayed the mscreen menu, cleared
the screen, then locked up.  Does anyone have a working mscreencap entry
for ansi which will work from a console multiscreen?  I assume one
created for Xenix 386 would work the same on the 286.
