There is another program which puts up an independent window under Microsoft
Windows 3.1 for each unix shell you are running.  It is called "Unix Windows"
or uw and is found on ftp.cica.indiana.edu.  A server program is required on
the unix machine, uwserver.tar.Z which can be found at wuarchive.wustl.edu
(I believe it is mirrored there).

Each window can be configured as a vt52 terminal or an adds(?) terminal.  It
is modelled after a product for the macintosh.  I expect it will be a much
nicer program when it can at least emulate a vt100 terminal.
