I got Zterm 0.85 off of Sumex a few days ago and promptly used it
to call my local Unix system. Version 0.80 worked fine with vi,
but 0.85 has problems.
SYMPTOMS: When you move the cursor near the end of a line, it
tends to zap over to the edge of the screen and tries to go *past*
the end.
TENTATIVE DIAGNOSIS: The new tabs in 0.85 are confusing vi a
little, so that tab stops are not where vi thinks they are.
Anybody got any solutions? (I've already turned off auto-linefeed.)
Until somebody does, I'm back to 0.80.
Please e-mail and I'll summarize.

It is an initialization bug in ZTerm. When it first comes up, no TABs are set. However, the default tabs are set whenever you select a setup from the Dial menu, or when you turn on Show Controls. So its mostly a problem for those with direct connections to their default setup. (We're new on the net. Not sure what a good address is for here.) -- Dave Alverson, author of ZTerm, Mason, OH
