I have very much been on the lookout in BBS's, newsgroups, etc. for PibTerm v4.0 ever since I first heard about a month ago that it was going to be released. I have been an avid user of v3.2.5 for quite a while now and am waiting anxiously for v4.0. If anyone comes across v4.0, would you either post it to the net, e-mail it to me, or point me to where I can DL it myself? I'm looking both for source and executable (I'm assuming source will be available for v4.0; it was for v3.2.5.) By the way, here is the message that initially informed me about v4.0: (Note: I don't have access to the SIMTEL20 archives, so I can't DL from there.) ============================================================================== Date: Sat, 29 Aug 87 05:09 CDT From: <PIB%NUACC.BITNET@wiscvm.wisc.edu> Subject: PibTerm In response to Frank Starr's request for information about versions of PibTerm later than v3.2.5 (November 1985), I have not released any versions since that time except locally at Northwestern University. I do plan to release v4.0 of the program generally in about four weeks, as soon as I've completed the release materials for local use at Northwestern V4.0 of the program is much larger than v3.2.5, and so it's not really suitable for transfer over the networks. However, I'm willing to send a copy of the release diskettes when they are ready to the SIMTEL20 sysop; I need a mailing address for that. Incidentally, I will NOT be distributing diskettes myself for this version of the program; that proved to be a huge time-absorber and I can't possibly afford that kind of expenditure in time (and money) again. -- Phil "Pib" Burns PIB@NUACC.BITNET P.S. Please friends, no phone calls about PibTerm! The receptionists here are ready to crucify me if any more off-campus calls about PibTerm arrive. And, I can barely keep up with local on-campus questions about PibTerm. I will be pleased to answer electronic mail which you can send to me at the BitNet address above. I answer all such mail within 24 hours unless I'm out of time or our mail hub is down. ============================================================================== Thanks in advance for any helpful replies. - Cathy uucp: ...decwrl!comet.dec.com!fulton Internet: fulton@comet.dec.com
