From: Werner Uhrig <werner@rascal.ics.utexas.edu>
Subject: MacLayers 1.0 release (FreeWare UNIX multi-window comm pgm)
MacLayers Document
Version 1.00 March 17, 1990
MacLayers provides multi-window capability for a Macintosh connected
to a host UNIX(TM) system with sockets support. Each window may be
associated with a shell, login to a different host, or an individual
command. Complete facilities are available for controlling the window
and the associated host processes attached thereto.
[ the above is the beginning of the file MacLayers_1.0_doc
(available for Anonymous FTP from site RASCAL.ICS.UTEXAS.EDU
as well as all other files needed for installation on your
Macintosh and UNIX-host:)

you can expect seeing these files at your favorite archive-site
near you shortly (SUMEX-AIM, SIMTEL-20, the BITNET-servers, etc..)
as well as on comp.binaries.mac (for those of you unable to FTP,
please don't ask me to email - I won't !! but you can always ask
Roger Long, the moderator of cbm to "hurry it up" if you think this
program is special/nifty enough to merit expedited distribution :-)
the feature which makes MacLayers indispensible for me is the
capability to have a continuous download process ongoing in one
window while processes in other windows stay responsive and
active, allowing me to read and answer mail, read and post news
and do whatever other interactive work strikes my fancy while
continuously downloading data at the same time at a speed of
up to 180 chars/sec on a 2400baud line, and considerably faster
on a 9600 baud line ...
fully MultiFinder-compatible, though a download can time-out
of course, when the download process cannot obtain time-slices...
the UNIX-files shar-package consists of the following:

you do not require root-privileges to install MacLayers
though you may loose a minor functionality (see README)
Please direct all your questions and feedback *NOT* to the
author of MacLayers (Dave Trissel <davet@oakhill.UUCP>) but
to the address ...!uunet!rascal.ics.utexas.edu!layers
(or to layers@rascal.ics.utexas.edu if your mailer groks
domain-style addresses) - but *DO* read the text-files before
you send us mail about bugs and features (missing or otherwise :-)
in order to avoid unnecessary traffic.
besides this announcement message I intend to send out the following
files shortly (possible broken up into multiple parts):
MacLayers_1.0_doc
MacLayers_1.0_SIT_hqx
MacLayers_1.0_UNIX-files_shar
Enjoy!! It's totally and absolutely FREE (though if you strongly
believe that 'you get what you pay for', you should definitely
donate all your worldly possessions to your favorite charity
in lieue of payment :-)
Cheers, ---Werner
