- There is a program in the demo library of OW 3.0 called "chalk" which
- seems (to me) to serve the same functionality as shdr. Chalk is an
- interactive chalkboard; it works quite well, but it doesn't go nearly
- as far as what Timbuktu seems to do.
-
- Since you can export your display (or portions thereof) to another
- user with his permission, it wouldn't seem that hard to create
- an integrator package to do something like Timbuktu. I'm sure that
- people working on multimedia applications have betas of this for the
- sun...
