Hi, I downloaded wnqvt445 from cica, I thought it is different from the one from chyde sometime ago. Obviously, some old problem with 445 is still there, one thing I encounter is that there is nothing displayed in the window, I checked foreground, background colors, they are ok, I check the vt220.fon, yes, it is there, but the screen is just blank, The only thing I see is the cursor moving 8( . Would someone try it out and see if it works? I surely will reload the 436 back. Thanks. --Eric Fong-- (fong@ksuvax1.cis.ksu.edu)

I have been using the wnqvt445 I downloaded from cica a month ago without much problem. But I heard a lot of people have problem getting it to work right. I don't know if the new uploaded version is the same. Initially I have some problem in setting the modem initialization right to do MNP level 5 compression. But now the problem is solved after a kind soul drop me a hints about it. Now I can communicate in MNP level 5 with wnqvt445. In case it help, my set-up is Compaq Deskpro 386/10, 5MB ram and EGA. I havn't tried VGA.

I just shelled to dos and found that yes the two exe's are identical. I just downloaded version 4.45 of cica thinking that it was a newer version that the old version of 4.45 that I scrapped in favor of old reliable 4.36. -- Jeff Watkins jwatkins@cadsun7.gatech.edu Convergent Media Systems (404) 315-0105 voice (404) 315-0231 data "I speak for no-one.

I have download from cica.cica.indiana.edu just a while ago, and exactly the same problem as Eric Fong show up, I have a blank screen with the cursor moving. my vt220.fon is in \windows\system, and qvt.ini is in \windows, and the rest of the file is in \winqvt, I am reloading wnqvt436 back, but I really like the newer version about the colors on the fly. Hope that somebody out here can help. --Joseph Ng-- University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign jng@cs.uiuc.edu
