Philip (philip@utstat.utoronto.ca) was kind enough to send me a copy of
Agate 069 tonight (tues 4/16). It is a beta version with no download
capabilities or much functionality other than its terminal (VT100 emulation)
mode. It uses the graphics screen (not sure if its single or double hires)
to display a special ANSI graphics font.
There was no mention, however, of Zmodem compatibility. The author is
located in British Columbia, so I'm posting his address and phone number
in the hopes that someone in B.C. will call him and find out what the current
state of the program is and post back to the net the news.
(it's a very, very expensive long distance call to B.C. from Miami, FL. :-))

Agate 0.69 uses an optional DHR graphics screen to display the IBM extended character set (you can still switch back to the text screen, if you want). The copy I have has both ZModem and YModem-4K downloading. I've used the ZModem protocol successfully on several IBM and Macintosh BBS's. There is a copy up on the tybalt anonymous FTP server.

I used Agate connected to my roomate's Amiga and it was really bad. I don't know if I had it set up correctly, or not but it was horribly slow. -- ******************************************************************************* Andy Goldstein Internet: ag0514@leah.albany.edu Bitnet: ag0514@albny1vx.bitnet America Online: GOLDSTEIN ****************************************************************************** -- ******************************************************************************* Andy Goldstein Internet: ag0514@leah.albany.edu Bitnet: ag0514@albny1vx.bitnet
