It is a windowing tool for ASCII > terminals. we use JSB MultiView on RT's (didn't want it for our 6000's). there seems to be some problems with emacs users running multiview - CPU time gets eaten by an emacs process (even an idling id), it runs away... i called JSB about it (posted stuff to emacs groups as well), the people at JSB didn't know what emacs or FSF meant... emacs users here don't use multiview anymore, since emacs has shell, subwindows, etc. anyway. other than the emacs problem, it works okay for us... -- John Anderson jra@bally.com Bally Mfg.
