Here are a couple of responses to the Windowing question. Again, please remember to reply to the orignator, not to the moderator! Thanks. Ron. ---------- From: <mit-athena!yba@TRILLIAN.ARPA> Date: Fri, 19 Dec 86 21:09:39 EST Organization: MIT Project Athena I believe that the X Window System has been ported to HP-UX by HP, although on what workstation displays I could not say. ---------- Date: 17 Dec 86 19:41:52 CST (Wed) From: codas!mtune!mtuxo!houxm!ho95e!wcs Organization: AT&T Bell Labs, Holmdel, NJ One good windowing environment (for graphics as wel as text) is the AT&T "Blit" environment, with the DMD 5620 terminal and layers multiplexing software. The 5620 is a large-screen expensive terminal, but we've just announced a couple of smaller cheap terminals, the 615 and 620. You get 6 windows, and a pseudo-tty environment where all the windows can be active at once. (Your keyboard belongs to one window at a time, but all the windows get updated.) Overlap gets handled automagically. The 5620 (powered by an AT&T 32100 CPU) and the 620 (Z80? 8086?) are bit-mapped graphics terminals; the 615 is character-mapped and gives you 3 windows. # Bill Stewart, AT&T Bell Labs 2G-202, Holmdel NJ 1-201-949-0705 ihnp4!ho95c!wcs ---------- (End)
