Hello UW-Users,
I've got some questions about the current state and extensions of
the original UW protocol by John D. Bruner.  I'm in the process of
writing a new front end for the Atari 520ST (this note is written
with it).  I know, it's not a mac, but it's much cheaper (at least
in Germany), so we use them as terminals at our university.  I took
the UW protocol because it is very clean and symmetrical, but it has
some disadvantages:  No file transfer, no possibility to set the
name of a window from the host or determine the program running in a
window from the atari/mac.  Has anybody extended the protocol in
these directions ?  And a related question:  Has anybody the network
address of Mr. Bruner ?  I want to ask him for permission to use his
code (I want to send my source to mod.sources like his code, so there
should be no problem, but better ask before...)
