This isn't quite right.  UNIX System V release 3 includes a "basic
windowing utilities" floppy that the 3B2 user can install or not,
but it is at least a standard part of the distribution.  This supports
the "xt" layer protocols used by the Blit descendants.  I don't know
what AT&T's future windowing plans are; they've announced (with Sun)
a commitment to the "Open Look" but then everybody and his brother is
pushing some window interface right now.  Too bad if X11 pushes out
the in-many-ways-superior layers approach.

Layers aren't just pseudo-terminals, they're much more powerful.
