Just yesterday, I found a copy of ZTerm 1.00 on a local BBS. The release date is June 10, 1991. OHBOY! I was happy. An update of ZTerm was much needed. And it seems to have features that do improve it: Super Kermit, Zmodem 8k, Lynx protocols (not that I've ever heard of Lynx or Zmodem 8k); built-in scripting; better set-up ... Only problem is, the person who uploaded it now posts that he believes it to be a hack of 0.85 and has removed it in case it is a trojan horse of some sort. Does anyone know about this? I'm using it right now. Works OK. I don't know why anyone who was going to hack 0.85 would go to the trouble of adding features, then installing a trojan horse... doesn't make sense. Does anyone seen this release? Know if it's valid? Know if it's not? I'm all worried now... -Theron Trowbridge trowbrid@usc.edu AppleLink: D7029 ^

A message appeared on the BCS*Mac BBS from someone who spoke to the author of ZTerm about this. The long & the short is that whatever the "ZTerm 1.00" you have may be, it is *not* his next release, which he is working on and will be called "ZTerm 0.90" --Carl Alexander | BCS*Mac News Editor, The Active Window | The Boston Computer Society cjeff@silver.lcs.mit.edu | Macintosh Users Group
