I believe there is some confusion in terminology here.  The "uwm"
that I'm familiar with is the Ultrix window manager for the X window
system.  The multiple-window interface to the Mac is UW.

The current version of UW, 4.2, is available to ARPANET/MILNET sites
via anonymous FTP from MORDOR.S1.GOV.  (Change to the directory "uw"
and retrieve "uw.shar.[1-8]".)  I sent it to the "comp.binaries.mac"
moderator a few weeks ago, so hopefully it will be distributed soon.

I need to find time to make another major push on UW.  There are
several features which I want to add (file transfer, for one).  The
trouble with this is that file transfer is hard to do on a machine
without real multitasking through a limited-bandwidth communications
medium.  I'm considering different approaches to the former problem;
the latter problem is much more difficult (because I don't want file
transfer in the background to impede interactive work in other
windows).  This is all made more difficult by the fact that UW is
not connected with my employment, and my "free" time has been quite
limited lately.

I'd like to take this opportunity to ask a general question: is there
any interest in an implementation of the UW server under A/UX?  I
can think of a couple of reasons for wanting one -- providing a
useful dialup interface for one.  (That, in fact, was my original
motivation for writing UW.)  I don't know enough about A/UX yet
to know how feasible this would be, because the UW server relies
on BSD UNIX features.
