A couple of weeks ago I posted a request for information on the UMAX
System for Mac/Unix communication.  I got lot's of requests for
anything I knew, but little more.  So, to satisfy the requests, and
perhaps encourage someone who knows more to amplify on UMAX, here is a
sketch of what UMAX purports to be (the ad I originally saw was in the
Macintosh Buyer's Guide, Winter Edition, 1984).

UMAX makes a Mac a workstation acting as a front-end for a UNIX
system.  It's a separate Mac application, and requires a special UMAX
shell on the UNIX side.  It sounds like the Quickdraw graphics are
accessible to the UNIX programs running in conjunction with UMAX, and
extra tools allowing UNIX programs to access the Mac capabilities are
mentioned.
