Several people have responded to my original question:

What split window / multi-window management tools are out there for
dumb terminals for starting several tasks with their output sent
to a seperate scrolling window.  I'd prefer support for up to 3 windows
being managed.

The answers were:

BSD's: window tool; window.tar.Z on many BSD archives.  Unfortunatly it's
a hack to get this to compile and actually run on SVSV.

Has anybody ported BSD's window to SYSV, SVR4.2??

Splitvt; The latest version is 1.5.6 on unix.hensa.ac.uk in the Linux,
terminal stuff dir; splitvt-1.5.6.tgz

The above tool is supposed to manage 2 windows (split)...  I've yet to
attempt to unpack and compile on SVR4 so no insights yet.

Any other suggestions?

Thanks so far, please mail responses to: cgi@crl.com
