(insert standard disclaimer about not knowing what is going on, here)
I have been looking at the UW utility and am very interested in it. I do
have a few questions.
We are using a Masscomp 5600 that supports UCB 4.2. I am interested in
using it to support logins from Macs, Ataris and Amigas. I understand
servers are available for these machines.
Is there a generic text-based server? Ala overlapping text windows. I
would need that for PCs or other systems.
Is there a newer version of the software than 3.4? In particular, is there
a version that doesn't have Sun dependent code? I can't get the code to
compile on the Masscomp as distributed. I don't have a <sys/un.h> file (?).
Is there an archive of UW stuff? The version that I have came from a
government BBS at Ames and it was pretty old. I don't have FTP access so
I would need UUCP info or guest login.
I think that the system is an interesting way to get more done using the
growing number of Macs, Ataris and Amigas out here. If I could get it
running on the PC I sure would be a hero arround here!
Thanks
