It depends on what you mean by running.  I ftp'd uw.tar, uw.arc,
and uwbin.arc(I believe those are the file names).  I built the
server on my workstation(contents of the tar file) and used the
wind.prg on my atari, and I am very pleased with the results.

First I ran wind.prg on the atari, phoned into work(you can define
the function keys to do this for you), and ran the workstation
version of uw.prg. This allowed me multiple windows to my workstation.
I was unable to get the reverse(a window to the atari from my 
workstation) using uw.prg, and the equivalent to wind.prg on the workstation.

I apologize if I have the names of the programs, or files wrong,
but they should be close enough to figure out the actual files
I mean :-)
