The wnqvt436.zip file on cica.cica.indiana.edu is corrupted. I tried to ftp and download it (yes all in binary mode) and pkunzip indicates that it is corrupted. Can someone put a good copy of the zip file out there?

I also noticed the wnqvt436.zip was corrupted. I tried to download it several times using different methods but the result was always the same: the zip was not decompressable. _______________________________________________________________________________ Otso Yl|nen Liisantie 1 H 30 e-mail: osy@stekt.oulu.fi SF-90560 Oulu Nokia vax-mail: oylonen@telno.hpy.elisa Finland tel. +358 (9)81 340 904 office: +358 (9)81 500 131

It supports more protocols, but so far Terminal's xmodem, kermit and ascii transfer were sufficient. From the usability (user interface) point of view there is no comparison (ie. Terminal is superior). ======================================================================= Andrzej Bieszczad (Bell-Northern Research, Ltd.)

If I press SHIFT-2, on order to get a quotation mark, Ill get "@ as a result. So, it uses MY keyboard settings AND the US- keyboard at the same time. Needless to say, I find this somewhat annoying. _ /Bjorn.

But the TERMINAL.EXE (the *German* one), which comes with the German Windows 3, has a similar buggy behaviour: it doesn't recognize any characters generated by pressing the AltGr key together with some other key. This includes usefull US-ASCII characters like ~|@{[]}\ on the German keyboard. Terminal and Wnqvt seem to be of similar quality, here. :-( Wolfgang Strobl #include <std.disclaimer.hpp>

At least I think so, but I haven't been using terminal that much. Hardly anything at all. I prefer running procomm in a window. At least it works, and without any problems at all. _ /Bjorn.

Hopefully a clean version will find its way here. I'll be testing the other uploads that arrived while I was gone before updating the archives here at cica. -- michael regoli mr@cica.cica.indiana.edu regoli@iubacs.bitnet ...rutgers!iuvax!cica!mr
