THE IMPLICATIONS OF WINDOW SHARING FOR A VIRTUAL TERMINAL PROTOCOL

摘要

Window sharing permits simultaneous presentation of information on multiple workstations.As a ubiquitous capability, it requires a virtual terminal standard that is in widespread use.This paper considers four ways in which window sharing can affect the definition of a virtual terminal protocol.The concerns are:extra-application communication,application references,autonomous output,and application state.Guidelines are offered to suggest how a virtual terminal protocol might best accommodate window sharing.
