What are >the popular terminal programs for the Atari ST... Thanks alot... Yboy I have Uniterm, and do use it on occasion, but my real favorite is Flash 1.6. It is not as snazzy, but has some features that I like. I especially like the way one can switch between the capture buffer/editor and the terminal screen with a single mouse click. The find string function (in the capture buffer) allows me to locate obscure stuff that I did quickly ("Hmmm, did I really delete that file??"). Thus, every session has a complete log that I can search through either by string or by GEM slider bar. It does not support Kermit (it has Xmodem and ascii u/dloads), but there is an desktop accessory that provides this. My only annoyance is that when on a mono monitor, underlined text looks great UNLESS you are using TurboST (it does not come out as underlined at all under Turbo). This program would benefit a lot from the faster screen routines in Turbo (in the GEM editor/capture screen), but I need my underlines!!! This was discovered on a friends system, and is the reason why I have not invested in TurboST (I believe the version was 1.6). Does anyone know if the newer version has this same problem with Flash? What about QuickST? I would buy one of these programs if Flash would work correctly with it. I keep Uniterm around for two big reasons: Kermit and itty bitty fonts (which I sometimes need). For the daily grind however, I prefer Flash. -- Mickey R. Boyd | "It's amazing how much growing up FSU Computer Science | resembles being too tired."
