I'm happy to announce the availability of SWiM version 2.0 via anonymous ftp
from TIGGER.STCLOUD.MSUS.EDU [134.29.33.14].

Some of the hilights of the new version are:

	o  Cut/Paste
	      - fixed
	      - added ability to cut data from the backup buffer
	      - added more navigation keys to speed the process
	o  Fixed data logging in stripped mode
	o  Task-List feature
	      - users can now create windows and automagically run applications
		in the window; when the application exits, the window closes
	      - tasks are selected from a user-customizable pop-up window

If you are unfamiliar with SWiM, I've included a page from the manual that
describes it below.

I. What is SWiM?

    SWiM stands for "Steve's Window Manager" which just about sums up what
    it does.  SWiM manages windows on your character-cell terminal screen,
    each window being a VT100 terminal connected to the VAX.  You can
    'log-in' in a window, run your favorite VAX application in that window,
    open another window and log-in to a different account and check your
    mail, open another window and use the phone utility, and on and on. 
    SWiM does not spawn processes for each window, it creates a totally
    separate interactive process as if you were using a physical terminal
    for each window on the screen.

    To give you a better idea of what I mean, take a look at this picture:
