I have a relatively small terminal font (old eyes so not as small as in the past) so I can have 2 80x60 windows open side-by-side, which gives me the capability to copy and paste from one to the other, do HELP BASIC XX in one and read it while typing in the other (Okay, I can't read and type anything coherent at the SAME time, but you get the idea). As for using @(0,60), no, I don't do that. I regularly use @(0,@CRTHIGH), or when changing width to test 132 column reports, do LIST.FILE.STATS to see more data, I will use @(@CRTWIDE) syntax. The very nice thing about gnome-terminal, and essentially all the Linux-based emulators, is that I can size a window to, say 134x70 (examples only), telnet to my AIX server and have the TCL TERM settings match. I use code like this to accomplish it: SET.DIMENSIONS 0001 execute 'sh -c \termdef\' capturing TERMTYP 0002 TERMTYP = TERMTYP1 0003 execute 'set.term.type ':TERMTYP capturing TERM.OUTPUT 0004 execute 'sh -c \termdef -c\' capturing TCOLS 0005 TCOLS = TCOLS1 0006 execute 'sh -c \termdef -l\' capturing TLINES 0007 TLINES = TLINES1 0008 execute 'TERM ':TCOLS:',':TLINES and call it from ~/uv/VOC UV.LOGIN.

Jon, The .edu may say it all, as this is a market we dont operate in, and I understand that many on this list do. I wonder if the same would be true in the .mil or even .gov space ? I think Brian gave a reasonable insight into the different mindset required for GUI. I imagine that your Vendor may have taken a 'minimalist' approach to their GUI Migration(?), I'm suspicious of any technique/product that tries to drive CUI GUI at the same time UNLESS the GUI implementation can be independently 'tweaked' optimised - which means that you really end up with 2 development streams. Perhaps it is just that we couldn't master this :-), but back when insert V word was a FAT TE, OUR GUI results were so obviously NOT windows that the product never made it out the door !

Or that UD has an OS layer for Macs? Or that you used Accuterm/Wintegrate to talk to some kind of server ? Will [snip] No no, UD and SB+ were running on Sun Boxes. The Macs were desktop clients. We ran an emulator from Carnation Software. The actual name escapes me right now. Sorry for the confusion, Gordon Gordon J.

RE: What client platform do YOU use (Parallel to GUI thread)
As we get U2UG off the ground, one thing we are definitely doing is collecting requests from users. If you want to request that U2 run on OS X, then there either is today or will be tomorrow a means to do that. Until then, if you make it clear in a post to this list that you are officially requesting that the U2UG group collecting U2 enhancements add this one to their list, then I suspect we can make it so.

This project never went anywhere because IBM would not commit to supporting UniVerse in that environment. Since Mac and XServer are OS X and OS X is based on FreeBSD 4.x I thought it would be something IBM might want to do to provide an avenue of escape from the M$ strangle hold. No joy...
