It was pretty slick. > Well, the program I have was written by someone (I'm not sure who it was, but I might be able to dig it up) and what it did was this: You can login to any unix machine using any modem (running this program). Then when you get a unix prompt, you type "uw" which starts some type of shell. Then you can open up to 9 different windows each with its own unix prompt. Then by pressing a key you can switch to any one of the windows. The problem with this program was that the interface was very crude. I would love to have something like this that ran under Windows 3.0, but even under DOS would be fine. BTW I have all of this person's source code if anyone is interested how he did it. > >-- >Mike Lipsie 1-415-648-5922 584 Castro #614, San Francisco, CA 94114 >dosbears!mikel@pyramid.com >mikel%dosbears.uucp@ingres.com Rich Kapusta University of Illinois
