Remote MGR Window Manager

[Howard Chu]

Howdy... I just posted my program rmgr to alt.sources. This program will
run on a remote host and allow you to open up and manipulate multiple
MGR windows on the local server. (I'm posting this here because someone
saw my announcement in comp.sources.d and asked that I cross-post to
unix-pc.sources. Oh well, too late for that since it's already posted.
I can post it again here if desired/necessary.)

I use it with MGR on my Atari ST at home, dialed up to a box at work. 
>From there I start up sessions to log in to everywhere else.

This program is derived from the screen program that was posted to
comp.sources.unix a year or so ago. It uses BSD sockets and pseudo-ttys.
(The socket is just used for session creation/re-establishment, and
can easily be replaced with a fifo. I dunno how to go about doing virtual
terminals without pty code...)

One of the nicer features of screen that I liked a great deal was the
ability to detach and reattach sessions. I've maintained that ability with
RMGR. (It's especially handy for me dialed up. My modem sometimes loses
carrier for no apparent reason; I can just dial up and resume as if no
interruption had occurred...)
