Ann Marks and I wrote something similar called QDT (QuickDraw Terminal) to
allow applications running on a mainframe to use the Macintosh's toolbox. On
the Macintosh side, there is a serial version and an appletalk version (the
appletalk version relies on a byte stream protocol that was defined at
Dartmouth -- to my knowledge, Apple still hasn't released their byte stream
protocol). On the mainframe side is a PL/1 library (for our Honeywell
machine) and a C library (for our Unix machines). A report and the software
are distributed as technical reports from the Mathematics & CS Department at
Dartmouth College (Hanover, NH 03755, USA). A revision of the report was
published in Proceedings, 1986 ACM SigSmall/PC Symposium on Small Systems (I
can send copies of the article if you want one.)
