I tried posting this to alt.sources previously, but it seems not to have made it out intact... Rmgr is a program I wrote, using the socket and session startup code from Oliver Laumann's screen program. Run on a remote host, it allows creation of multiple sessions, each in its own MGR window. It also allows for an rmgr session to be suspended and resumed, as well as completely detached, for reattachment at a later time, even from a different workstation. Like screen, it uses BSD sockets and pseudo-ttys. (The use of sockets can easily be replaced with a FIFO. I don't know anything about setting up virtual terminals in Sys V, though.) The program is stable, but does not yet have any fancy configuration options. I use it from an Atari ST running MGR at home, dialed up to a machine at work. From there I start up rmgr and get everywhere else... If you've got an ST, Sun, DECstation, Mac, or Xenix-PC in the same situation, then you can run MGR and you may want to give this a try. -- -- Howard Chu @ University of Michigan one million data bits stored on a chip, one million bits per chip if one of those data bits happens to flip, one million data bits stored on the chip...
