I don't know whether it is public domain or not. (No, I didn't steal my copy! It was on a disk with a bunch of public-domain utilities, but banner had a copyright notice, so I haven't used it since trying it out, and don't want to send it to Mr. Macks.) Does anyone know the status of this program? ---- Henry Kautz :uucp: {seismo|allegra}!rochester!henry :arpa: henry@rochester :mail: Dept. of Comp.

The new version of Red Ryder is 6.2. It supports Ascii, XModem, and Kermit file transfers, and VT-100 terminals. I hope this helps you. However, I have been having a problem, which no one in San Diego seems to have heard of. When using Red Ryder 6.2 on a UNIX VAX, and using VI, Red Ryder inevitably freezes up (crashes, but does not display the 'bomb', it just stops working). This always happens to me after a few minutes of work, and usually sometime after typing ctrl L. I'm using the VT-100 terminal type. After re-booting the Mac, I'm still sitting in VI on the VAX, waiting to continue. If anyone has had similair problems, let me know. David Shayer @ UCSD
