[comp.sys.atari.st] Uniterm v. 1.6F

MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH

I think I speak on behalf of a lot of Atari ST users when wish to
thank Simon Poole for the *excellent* communications program he wrote.
Uniterm is very good, versatile and has far better terminal emulators
than any commercial program I've had my hands on. Flash is back on the
shelf, Uniterm (1.6f) is all I need. I even changed my bbs so it suports
all sorts of VT-100 gags, now Uniterm is getting widely spread here in
Holland. Well done, Simon.

I also have a couple of questions:

1. Do you allow financial support, Simon? Personally I feel Uniterm is worth
a few (?) of my bugs. Give me details on how to transfer the money.

2. Is there any kind of documentation available? The files I downloaded
from the Atari Fileserver in Houston (UH-INFO @ UHUPVM1) only contained
update reports.

3. Would it be possible to take following points in consideration when
you change the current version? Being:

	Ask for confirmation to quit the program. I frequently hit
	the UNDO button trying to get to HELP en find myself back on
	the desktop.

	Show the size of the file to be uploaded in packets/blocks. This
	may help people to decide whether or not to continue uploading,
	or may be a hint to start making coffee. Ideal, ofcourse, would
	be an EST (estimated time of arrival) to accompany the file-size.

	I noticed that when sending a batch of files in Kermit, the
	'packets sent' counter added all files together. Is this meant
	to be?

These are, ofcourse, just hints and suggestions. The program is quite
satisfactory 'as is'. But when you decide to improve anyway, you might as well
think of these things... :)

BTW: To all Dutch users of this net: ALL files are available on STennis BBS,
020 - 854900, 24 hrs/d, 300 & 1200 baud. They are uudecoded, tested and
ready to be used (after un-ARCing them, ofcourse)

   Yes.  PC-Kermit 2.27 does the same thing.

AAACCKKK!!

I finally managed to download, uudecode and un-arc
Uniterm 1.5c and now I find out that I am several
releases behind, releases that contain xmodem and
kermit!!!  Could new releases of Uniterm be posted
to the net at intervals of 3 or 4 months?

By the way, what is keyedit for?  Yes I have run it,
but I have no documentation for it and I can find no
references to the file types it will load and save
(with the exception of assembler files).

I will post Uniterm 1.6g to the net today (time permitting).
It includes keyedit, and some simple files explaining what 
enhancements have been done.

It also includes KERMIT!!!
