Check out Structured Software Solutions' Facet/Term package. We've been using it here for nearly a year and we are extremely happy with it. It will work on the console and any attached terminals. Many different terminals are supported. The terminals can be connected via serial ports, ethernet based terminal server, they can be dos machines running kermit, telnet, rlogin, just about anything. What you get is virtual terminals for your terminals, just like the console gets. Plus you can divide you screen up with, say the top half as one window and the bottom half as another window. You can display a window, say 10x10, inside a larger window (sort of a popup window). There are ioctl() calls that allow your applications to work with Facet. All in all, it is kind of a poor man's X window package for ascii terminals. Structured Software Solutions Neal Bert 4031 West Plano Parkway Plano, Texas (214) 985-9901 -Larry
