As a FoReM ST SysOp, I do know that ST TERM comes ONLY on the FoReM disk. It is intended to be run from inside of FoReM by the SysOp. Last I heard, it was NOT Public Domain, but was not commercial either. I'll check with the other FoReM SysOps I know and see what they say.

Hi netters! I have some questions which maybe some of you can answer. (1) I got version 2.0e of UniTerm from terminator.cc.umich.edu, and it comes with some fonts (unifont.arc) which I can't make it to load. According to the readme files it has a new command (loadfont(index,filename)) but whenever I try it it either doesn't do anything or tells me it cannot open the file. Can anybody help me with this? I really hate the system font! (2) I am in love with GCC but have only 1Meg on my 1040ST, so I am eager to expand its memory. I know many of you have such expansions, so I would really appreciate any informations about this (which brands are available, pros and cons, what speed the ram chips have to be (I guess it's 120ns?), etc.). Related to this, does anybody have any experience with Fast16 or any other accele- rator board? I would like to know something more about them. BTW, I didn't like the floating point routines in GCC so I spend some (not negligible) time writing my own. They are not perfect, probably have many bugs, but if anybody is interested just tell me and I will send him/her the code. But some words of caution: I wrote them (in assembly, of course!) to operate on 80-bits floating point numbers (using some ideas from a BYTE article by Rick Grehan), so the interface with the compiler is a little bit akward (I didn't want to recompile GCC). But I also rewrote the (arithmetic) operations on doubles using my extended version and am using that regularly (and they work fine, although not very fast). I did this because I prefer accuracy over speed (I wouldn't do any VERY intensive computation on a ST!) and got it! I have (not very fast) routines for sqrt, exp, logs, etc, which give me correct answers to 20 decimal digits. Anyway, if anybody is interested just contact me. Sorry for the length of my letter! It's my second one (I think).

Don't understand that at all, I thin it IS commercial. >I'll check with the other FoReM SysOps I know and see what they say. Last I heard it still is for FoReM SysOps. What node are yo OS8^)
