I also said that I thought it was difficult to use a number of
the windowing systems on a 24 line terminal, because your windows
got *so* small. There actually are a number of windowning systems
around for normal terminals under *NIX.

Yes I'd thought about writing one, but this education doesn't address
the original poster who was asking for somebody else to go to work so
that we could all benefit. OK, so can anybody give a reference to
one of the windowing systems that's available public-domain
somewhere? If nobody can find one, perhaps Nigel would be so kind
as to post his to net.sources...
