A colleague and I have done *EXSTENSIVE* hacking on UW.
It now has a configuration file, file capture, optional
title bar and sliders, programmable function keys, built
in rs232 configuration, choice of emulation sizes (sorry,
still only adm31), access to 6 fonts, printer support
(text only), and a text clipboard mechanism.

Jump scrolling and some loop unwinding have improved the
effective speed quite a bit.

Several people at Lachman are using it, but we have been
on a feature binge for a long time and should freeze for
a while before shipping it out (it shouldn't be too much
longer now (kind of echoes when you say that, doesn't it
:-)  )).  I also want to say early on that we won't have
time to do lots of integration, so if anyone has bright
ideas of doing lots of additional hacking, please check
with us first if you want us to integrate your changes.

If it works at all on a color system, I suspect it is not
much fun to use (I haven't tried it).
