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.
