The latest issue of DATAMATION mentions ANSI, Sun, and DEC each pushing
window interfaces (which are a generalization of the 'curses' concept).
On the net side, the job control discussion in mod.std.unix has split
off a windowing discussion.  [Details submitted to mod.std.unix]

People ARE trying to improve the world.  But the windowers want it to
be perfect. :-)  Until it is, I appreciate practical tools such as yours.
(And I'll be updating some such tools on the real computer due soon, instead
of this Lisa XENIX without flexnames)
