I have tried to use Snowterm before trying to communicate to a vax machine but when I log on with this program I get to the part where I'm supposed to enter my user number and the program freezes. Can anyone help with this delima. I got so frustrated with it that I even bought Readylink which work great but when one compares the price......wow what a difference. Thanks in advance.

What version of SnowTerm did you try? Current version is 2.04. I am using it as I write this logged onto The World (Sun system) in vt100 emulation mode.

Well I went back to check what version of Snowterm I had and what a surprise It wouldn't let me boot it or when I did (using 5.0.3) it just took me back to the desktop. How strange I thought so I tried running under (5.0.2) no dice, there I just got the menu bar and then it froze. So I then proceded to download another copy to make sure I had both a working copy and the latest now (running under 5.0.3) it did the same thing but when I got to 5.0.2 I got John Snows little message about the $20 and then after leaving that menu I got the one about choosing a modem and printer. After I selected that I went on and then the system froze again. Right now I am currently running under rom 3 with a single disk drive and the standard memory(I still havent figured out if this is 1 meg or 1.25) (unfortunalely my girlfriends father wanted the 1 meg memory car and the disk drive back so now I'm reduced to nothing. Also, this is my second posting on comp.sys.apple2 how do I get what other people said (to quote them) into vi to post that as well. Thanks again Scott Harris

on your system, I'll bet John Snow would take a crack at it. Here are
all the addresses he lists in his manual. Give him a holler...

Quinn > University of Tennessee at Chattanooga > BITNET-- mquinn@utcvm > pro-line-- mquinn@pro-gsplus.cts.com Version 2.00 and up added several new features that 1.07 didn't have. First is a capture buffer with the ability to capture the received data stream, display it in a scrollable window, save it to a file, and copy it to the system clipboard for tranfer to other GS programs. Version 2.00 also added a text file send command to transfer text files across the serial line, and the ability to list in a window and print to a printer any text file. In addition, received text can be echoed to a printer. No file transfer protocols are included yet, but I'm working on it. Version 2.04 is the latest version that I'm sending to those who send in their registration fee, but it differs little from 2.03 which is the most rececnt widely distributed version. Version 2.04 contains one minor change which fixes a bug which causes problems with the VT100 arrow keys when SnowTerm is running in half duplex mode. Since most people use full duplex, I haven't bothered uploading 2.04. Version 2.03 has been uploaded to the various services, including comp.binaries.apple2. Unfortunately, I can't (or don't know how) to get to Apple2-L, so I can't upload a new copy there. I'd be happy to upload 2.04 to anywhere I can get to or email it directly to anyone that requests it. --John -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- John F.

Bloody H*ll. What does Snowterm 2.04 do that 1.07 doesn't? Well any time there is that large a version number difference you have to figure that a lot of bugs have been corrected (not to mention features that may have been added). I personally have Snowterm 2.03 (and registered too. Serial Number 89) and have sucessfully been using it with 5.02 and 5.03 for many months (5.02 months, 5.03 since it came out). Please remember to send in your shareware fees.

I Obviously bugs have been fixed. My question was: What does 2.04 do that 1.07 doesn't do (aside from bug fixes...That should go without saying). I was afraid someone was going to take my question the wrong way. I wasn't implying that the new version doesn't do anything more than the old one does... just wonderin what new features it has, if any. >personally have Snowterm 2.03 (and registered too.

If it is the main term font you don't like, you can get a font editor by paying the shareware fee. If it is the editor font that sucks, it's most likely that you don't have the correct font (Geneva?) in you system/fonts so you're ending up with a badly scaled Shaston font. -- +---------------------------S-U-P-P-O-R-T-----------------------------------+ |/ Tim Meekins <<>> Snail Mail: <<>> Apple II \| |> meekins@cis.ohio-state.edu <<>> 8372 Morris Rd. <<>> Forever! <| |\ timm@pro-tcc.cts.com <<>> Hilliard, OH 43026 <<>> /|

In-Reply-To: message from swiers@plains.NoDak.edu No, v2.05 is the newest version. As for the font, it's not really a FONT font. In other words, it is a special graphics font set done by the author. It is non-standard, meaning you can't insert a standard GS font, such as courier. I don't see that it sucks.

When I execute the program I > get system error $005C. What is that? How can I fix it? According to the GS/OS reference, error $5C is "not an executable file". There are two cases in which this could appear. One of them is if you try to set up a IIgs system disk with a startup file that is of the wrong type. The startup file must be one of: /Disk/System/START: S16 /Disk/xxx.SYS16: S16 /Disk/xxx.SYSTEM: SYS In particular, I don't think you can make a SYS file into the startup program by calling it START and placing it in the SYSTEM directory. I suggest you check the above files to make sure there is nothing strange going on. The other case is if a QUIT call tries to execute a file that isn't of type SYS or S16.
