An essential program for
VMS users written by
Steve Jennen. SWiM is a text mode multi-window terminal application that allows you to work in several simultaneous sessions, each one displayed in a fully movable and resizeable window.
When I first used it at school I couldn't believe what I was seeing: it turned a
VT320 into an almost-graphical multitasking terminal! On the downside, as each
DCL session gobbled its own screen quota time, you could run out of it pretty quickly.
