HitchHiker1.1 is now out. It is in the submissions directory of cs.orst.edu and I have mailed it to j.cc.purdue.edu. You will now notice it comes in two parts HitchHiker.aux.tar.Z -- The xmodem and zmodem files. If you have HitchHiker1.0 then you have everything in here. HitchHiker1.1.tar.Z -- The new program. Much easier to install and use. Many new features, but mostly just a fixup of the interface. I have mailed HitchHiker1.1.tar.Z to people who have given me bug reports as my way of saying thanks.

If I type into the string gadget which specifies an external terminal, it takes several minutes for the text to show up. The load average rises by 4-5 units, but no extra processes are running. Are there any happy HitchHiker users out there? I can get c-kermit working in a regular terminal window just fine. Is there something special I need to set up for HitchHiker to function properly? Or is this the thing I don't like which I can fix myself if I shell out the non-trivial amount the author requests for source 8-)? Ofer Licht ofer@stat.berkeley.edu
