These products were targeted at a low-end market. The initial concept relied on custom (but low-cost) terminals which would support mouse interaction, (text) windowing support, and colored text.[3] With that, plus special host software, the vendors proposed to support semi-graphical applications "transparently". OrganizationThe Display Industry Association was at the same location as Cumulus Technology (the same street address in Palo Alto, CA).[1][6] Cumulus was a manufacturer of displays since 1986.[7][8] Cumulus was heavily involved with development of the AlphaWindows standard. The members of the association in 1993 were:[1]
Only Cumulus was proposing both to develop the terminals and the host software. However, Cumulus did not survive: it went bankrupt.[8][9][10] SoftwareJSB Software Technologies produced MultiView Mascot. As noted in Unix Review:[11] {{ quote| MultiView Mascot helps users access graphical applications, such as Web sites and e-mail systems, from a character-based browser. It does so by mapping graphical applications to a multiwindowed character system. Although there is the inevitable loss of graphics and formatting, the result is surprisingly workable. A hot-key feature allows any old character terminal to offer switching between multiple applications at the same time, with no programming required. }}{{As of|2007}}, the product is owned by FutureSoft.[12][13] SSSI (Structured Software Solutions, Inc.) produced the FacetTerm session multiplexer.[14] References1. ^1 2 {{cite web | url = http://www.cs.utk.edu/~shuford/terminal/alphawindows_news.txt | title = "Alphawindows" -- a windowing setup for character-cell video terminals | author = Richard Shuford, ed | access-date = 2007-09-22 | archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20081007095640/http://www.cs.utk.edu/~shuford/terminal/alphawindows_news.txt | archive-date = 2008-10-07 | dead-url = yes | df = }} 2. ^{{Cite book | url = http://sw-eng.falls-church.va.us/itsg/P03V31.htm | title = Information Technology Standards Guidance — User Interface Services | publisher = U.
