I just had an interesting conversation with a sales-type at Truger
Technologies, a computer distributer that bills itself as a UNIX
house, about a DOS terminal emulator by Digiboard called
Double-View. According to the literature it emulates VT100, VT200,
Wyse 60 and AT/386. It apparently uses a TSR to perform hotkey
pop-up UNIX sessions and can do cut-and-paste betwen the UNIX
window and the DOS window. When I asked to come down to see it in
action I was told that they don't use it in-house andthat they
would need to set it up. Right! The suspicion runs through my mind
is that the salesman will do a two day crash course on how to use
this thing, won't be able to answer any question that can't be read
off the literature, and if it's any good how come they're not using
it themselves? So I'm sending this little missive around hoping to
pick up any gossip on whether this stuff is any good, and if you
want to drop any hints about something that'll do the same thing
better, I'm all ears.

To all my good friends I wish to announcethe re-emgerence of "bent"
from the mists of obscurity. "bent" currently talks to "compus" and
"druid" and will appearing in the uucp maps soon.
