A couple of weeks ago, I posted a new "shareware" version of CDY's OmniCom to the net. Unlike the original OmniCom, this version does not require the installation of the OMNIVIEW chip. I have the feeling it made it out to BITNET but not to the ARPA side. Did anybody on the ARPAnet receive it? If not, is anyone interested? I can either e-mail it or (if there is enough demand) post it again. OmniCom is a vt100 emulator with 80-column display and support for kermit, xmodem, and plain ASCII data capture and send from file. Also, it has a handy "Print Screen" function for printing short messages. I have found it highly satisfactory for use with my VAX screen editor, and have not even needed to install a special termcap file -- it acts just like a real vt100 in almost all respects. -John Sangster / jhs@mitre-bedford.arpa
