uwtools works just fine even with this simple version. I am
attaching the man page for uw and uwtool for the Vax end, as it was not
distributed. If anyone needs the source for the Vax end, please mail me.
UW(local) UNIX Programmer's Manual UW(local)
NAME
uw - unix windowing system for Macintosh
SYNOPSIS
uw
uwtool [ process ] [ arg1 arg2 ... ]
DESCRIPTION
Uw is a server program on unix that works with the program
uw on the Macintosh. It creates a pseudo-terminal for each
window, giving the user up to seven `terminals' to work
with. The host program multiplexes the output onto one
RS-232 line.
Uw (on the unix system) with uw on the Macintosh emulate a
Lear Siegler ADM-31 terminal (tset adm31), a Tektronix 4010,
and a DEC VT52. Each window (on the Macintosh) has its own
terminal emulation and can be resized at will; the program
keeps an 80x24 line display in memory for each window, but
only shows the lower left portion possible.
Uwtool can be executed from unix while running uw to create
a new window/`terminal.' If no arguments are given, it
creates a new `terminal' running csh. If a process is
named, it will create a new window with that process running
in it, and when that process is terminated the window will
disappear. (i.e. `uwtool vi foo' will create a new window
with vi, editing the file foo, but the window will go away
when vi is exited) Any arguements after the process name are
passed as arguements to that process.
LIMITATIONS
Uw and uwtool are of no use on unix unless uw is being run
on the Macintosh.
If there is a stream of output in one window there will be
lag in recognizing characters typed in another.
SEE ALSO
uw documentation distributed with the Macintosh program.
