- I have a question regarding a program called TERM099n and it's compilation
- and running behaviour on a NeXT. This program is actually several programs
- designed to enable a person without root access or "permission" to run
- several shells at once or even several Xwindows through ONE serial line all
- at once. (Simulates ports on a single serial line - does automatic data
- compression so it's reasonably fast even over a modem)

- This seems like an
- INCREDIBLY useful program, since it doesn't require all the hassle of SLIP
- and it runs without needing root permission right from the user's shell. If
- some Unix/NeXT wizard finds this program useful, or just wants to give a
- non-wizard a hand, please try and re-compile this program which is found at
- archive site sunsite.unc.edu in /pub/Linux/Incoming among many places (try
- an archie on it for the most recent version).
-
- Great! I've asked about and even outlined designs for just such a
- program for months now. But, I couldn't justify the time to develop
- it from scratch. Michael O'Reilly, has done most of the work, (I'll
- just have to get it running under NeXTstep ;-). It has Makefile
- options for NeXT, but doesn't appear to work yet.
-
- BTW, the latest version can be found in the directory
-
- tartarus.uwa.edu.au:/pub/oreillym/term/
-
- They're up to term102, with new versions appearing every few days, so
- it may not be stable. But that hasn't stopped me.
