Yes, it's true: I've got running UNIX-WINDOWS under OSK. The UW-server
runs on a 68010 VMEbus machine, the client is the ST program uw from
Hans-Martin Moser, Brad Bosch and Brian Katzung. The system seems
to run very stable, and it's fantastic to have up to seven shells
running completely independ, each in a separate GEM window.

To get the server working I have written a "PTY" driver (Pseudo TTY),
a really nice thing. A PTY behaves like any other SCF-device, so
every program runs on it.

I plan to enhance the PTY driver a little bit, and after the beta
test phase I will post the diffs for the server and the PTY driver
in source. I think this will be in January or so ...
