- Ok, UW or Unix windows is a Windows (and PC) Public Domain package
- that allows you to log onto a Unix system and then have multiple
- sessions (on DOS) and multiple Windows (On Windows of course).
- So you can log on 3 different times using the same modem. It
- basically cycles between windows. The one (of two) drawback
- is that it doesn't have downloading or uploading capability
- as of yet (unless that's in a new release), also the server
- (for your account) only compiles on BSD systems, not System V
- (like SGI). So basically you log on using UW and then on
- your system you log into you execute uw and it is a server
- for your PC. Anyway, if the author sees this, please get back
- to me if you can. Thanks!
