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. Sorry cant help you here. You should be ok with a proper TERMCAP file on your UNIX end. It provides function keys, reverse, underline, bold, and cursor stuff just like vt100. Future versions are supposed to include this, as the current Mac version does. 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... I have gotten both the ST and the UNIX end running also on BSD 4.2 I just typed make all and ran uw on the UNIX-end, than went to my ST and opened a fresh window, followed by more windows, and more windows.. I love it! It is *ALMOST* as good as X (for 2400 baud from home that is...:-) I can finally have my gnumacs, mailer, a program compiling, a login to a remote site, as well as an ftp session all going at the same time and keep track at home! If anyone would be interested in helping me add goodies to this code to include scrollbars, etc send mail to me and perhaps we can upgrade/hack some extra goodies into the current version of UW.
