- I want to create multiple xterms (or some other terminal io
- window) and have them act as an interface layer to a program.
- Ideally, I would be able to create an xterm, write strings/lines
- to it and get strings/lines from it. I also want to run them
- in a single process w/ non-blocking I/O so I can check to see if
- an xterm has a line for me and if not continue doing useful
- work. If that isn't restrictive enough, I'd also like the
- implementation to use the standard X distribution only -- i.e.,
- Xlib and no third party widget sets.
-
- Any suggestions? If this is too restrictive, what options are
- available with the least relaxation of the above constraints?
-
- Thanks,
-
