ManaGeR or MGR was an early windowing system originally designed and developed for Sun computers in 1984 by Stephen A. Uhler , then at Bellcore . MGR featured overlapped, asynchronous windows and an applications interface that was both machine and network independent. Each MGR window had support for both character terminal operations as well as basic graphics operations. It was controlled by mousing pop up menus, by keyboard interaction, and by escape sequences written on Pseudo terminal pseudo terminals by client software. The system was presented at the USENIX Fourth Computer Graphics Workshop in 1987 as MGR a Window System for UNIX . ref Uhler, Stephen A., MGR a Window System for UNIX , Fourth Computer Graphics Workshop Proceedings, page 106 abstract only . ref The entire MGR source code was posted to the comp.sources.unix Usenet newsgroup, Volume 17, Issue 1, in January 1989. ref http groups.google.com group comp.sources.unix browse thread thread 18632ad853442350 comp.sources.unix, Volume 17, Issue 1 ref Features MGR provided each client window with termcap style terminal control functions, graphics primitives such as line and circle drawing facilities for manipulating bitmaps, fonts , Icon computing icons , and pop up Menu computing menus commands to reshape and position windows and a message passing facility enabling client programs to rendezvous and exchange messages. Client programs may ask to be informed when a change in the window system occurs, such as a reshaped window, a pushed Mouse computing mouse button , or a message sent from another client program. These changes are called Event driven programming events . MGR notifies a client program of an event by sending it an ASCII character string in a format specified by the client program.
