[comp.sys.atari.st] telecom on the Magic Sac

Hi,

I'm trying to get FREETERM 1.8 from the Mac universe to work on my
Magic Sac, and I need some help.

For those who are interested, I obtained a MAGIC format disk containing
FREETERM and other files (like KERMIT) at the March Atari Expo in Allentown,
from the WAACE people.
I'd like to say publically that I think they've done a real good job
providing a MAGIC PD disk library of stuff that works reliably.

Anyway, the problem is that although the disk contains what look like
documentation files, I cannot print them because
1) when I click on PRINT FILE, I get a message like
"cannot find an application for this file", and
2) I have a Panasonic printer, which the Sac doesn't support yet anyway.

So, if anyone out there can email me a set of freeterm 1.8 documentation
in a format I can just lpr on the VAX, I'd be grateful.
Advice from anyone who has used telecom s/w on the Sac would also be
greatly appreciated.

I can summarize my experiences for any interested parties, but right
now I'm having trouble just getting started!

Thanks in advance.
rob
