- I tried posting this to alt.sources previously, but it seems not to have made
- it out intact...
-
- Rmgr is a program I wrote, using the socket and session startup code from
- Oliver Laumann's screen program. Run on a remote host, it allows creation
- of multiple sessions, each in its own MGR window. It also allows for an
- rmgr session to be suspended and resumed, as well as completely detached,
- for reattachment at a later time, even from a different workstation. Like
- screen, it uses BSD sockets and pseudo-ttys. (The use of sockets can easily
- be replaced with a FIFO. I don't know anything about setting up virtual
- terminals in Sys V, though.)
-
- The program is stable, but does not yet have any fancy configuration options.
- I use it from an Atari ST running MGR at home, dialed up to a machine at
- work. From there I start up rmgr and get everywhere else... If you've got
- an ST, Sun, DECstation, Mac, or Xenix-PC in the same situation, then you
- can run MGR and you may want to give this a try.
