Does the new release of XTALK run in a Window or only under Windows? Kermit will run "under" Windows but not in a window; it will run in a window under Deskview.

Kermit has always run in a window for me, even on Win286. It might be a bit slow, but it definitely runs in a window. -- Roger Hadgraft | hadgraft@civeng.monash.edu.au Lecturer in Civil Engineering | phone: +61 3 565 4983 Monash University | fax: +61 3 565 3409 Clayton, Vic. 3168.

DCA has now introduced Crosstalk for Windows which in my mind runs under Windows and in a window as any other Windows program (such as Excel or Pagemaker) would. Also there is a version of Kermit called WinKer that is also a Windows application and it too runs under Windows and in a window. The only applications that I know of that will run under Windows but not in a window are what Microsoft calls "Standard Applications" or simply DOS applications not written for Windows. These will not run in a window when they directly modify memory or write directly to video memory or other such nasties. I have been using Crosstalk for Windows and WinKer for a little while now. Winker is fairly basic with only h19 terminal emulation (but it is free from the Columbia University machines) while Crosstalk for Windows will blow your socks off. Good Luck.
