Hi...  I'd like to know where I can find the LATEST version of both the
Atari ST version, and the Unix side, of "uw", the Unix Windowing program.
I have both right now, but there are two major problems, and if anyone
has a solution, please either post here, or E-mail me.

1.  Only adm31 emulation.  I really need vt100 terminal emulation.  This
    is more a wish, than a problem.  It can't be THAT difficult to
    implement, though.

2.  I have version 4.2 of the Unix side of "uw".  I compiled all the files
    using make, and included the -DUTMP define to allow the program to
    record my tty's in the /etc/utmp file.  Unfortunately, for some reason
    the windows don't show up in a "who" listing, and are obviously NOT
    getting written into the /etc/utmp file (and, yes, it IS world-writable.)
    So my only conclusion is that the version on my ST is not writing the 
    /etc/utmp information, though that doesn't make sense to me, because
    Unix should be handling it.  Any ideas???

                                      Thanks in advance.

                                                     --- Kenny Z.
