So, to answer (some of) my own questions, I just found this OCR'd article from an Australian computer magazine:
SCO MultiView is a combined multitasking
windowing environment and user friendly
interface for 286- and 386-based personal
computers running SCO Xenix System V.
SCO MultiView is the only windowing soft-
ware for Unix systems that works on character-
based terminals.
“SCO Xenix users who want multiple win-
dows aren't forced to buy a graphics terminal
or costly workstation,” according to Doreen
Hamamura, SCO product manager. “SCO
MultiView also provides Dos users with a
smooth transition to the multiuser SCO Xenix
environment,” she said. “The menu interface,
Xenix Manager, enables users to work in a
multiuser environment without knowing
Xenix commands.”
SCO Multi View's user friendly interface in-
cludes a series of pull-down menus that contain
builtin functions and applications, such as che
supplied pop-up Phone Book, Address Book,
Card File and Clipboard.
“In addition to the Dos-like features, users
can also zoom in and out of a full screen win-
dow,” said Hamamura, “shrinking che size of
one application and expanding the size of an-
other, and change the order of the windows on
the screen.”
Those who have local printers attached to re-
mote terminals will enjoy SCO Multi View's
“print screen” function, which allows a user to
send the contents of any window directly co
any spooler or local printer.
SCO MultiView is available in packages for
both the SCO Xenix 286 Operating System
and the SCO Xenix 386 Operating System.
Now I *definitely* want to see if I can get my hands on it. lol.
