VTMS: A Virtual Terminal Management System for RIG.

Abstract

Rochester's Intelligent Gateway provides its users with the facilities for communicating simultaneously with a large number of processes spread out among various computer systems. We have adopted the philosophy that the user should be able to manage any number of concurrent tasks or jobs, viewing their output on his display device as he desires. To achieve this goal a single physical terminal is converted in multiple virtual terminals, each of which may be written into or queried for user input. Virtual terminals are device-independent and provide extensive editing facilities and the capacity to maintain all output on disk. (Author)
