No. "UW" stands for UNIX Windows, and was written by a guy at Lawrence 
Livermore Labs. What it does is provide a multiple window 
vt100/vt52/tek4010/adm31 multiple shell etc environemnt on a mac connected to
a Berekely or Sun UNIX system. I have used it for the last couple of years
to work from home, connected to SUN-3 networks. A very impressive piece of
work - in many ways (excepting the lack of download/upload facilities) it
is the best terminal program available - and it is free.

It may be had via anonymous ftp from the Stanford info-mac archive.
