- You also need to get the server file from one of the unix directories....
- Then you need to make it on your unix machine.
- I found that it was already compiled on Columbia's machines!
- It is /usr/local/bin/uw.

- There is another similar piece of software called UW - Unix Windows.
- It's also a host-client arrangement. The host has been developed for
- BSD and there are client versions for the Amiga, the Mac, DOS &
- Windows. (I believe it was originally developed for the Amiga) It's
- been around for quite a while. I'm using the Windows version in
- seamless. The released version 1.03 for windows has only adm31
- emulation, but the beta 1.04 has pretty decent vt100 support & ZModem.
- The person who is writing the Windows version is Russ Poffenberg
- (poffen@sj.ate.slb.com). I hear rumours that a PM version is being
- worked on.
-
- This type of comm package is *very nice* -- just like having multiple
- xterms without the overhead of X.
-
- (IMHO anyway)
