Have there been any reports of any troubles with Zterm 0.85 running under System 7.0? I am new to the nets so, bare with me if I make any dumb mistakes...:) Thanks Cliff

I've actually had problems with Zterm.. when doing a transfer of a binhex file from the unix system with sz (sz -e -w 512 filename)... after a while, my screen suddenly when mostly white with little dots of black here and there. it beeped repeatedly, with the plain simple beep. (beep.. beep.. beep..) hitting command-option-esc didn't do anything. hitting the programmer's button for breaking did nothing.. hitting the restart button restarted, and for an instant before the restart, i could see things "normally" on the screen. it's happened to me twice. weird. system: 7.0, mac se, 4 megs memory, zterm 0.85, 2400 modem. I hope there's a new ZTerm soon.. it's a nice program. But maybe it's time to invest in a 7.0 compatible term program, like the new Microphone II that's coming out soon (or so I've heard)... -jason -- Jason Snell / jsnell@ucsd.edu / University of California, San Diego "Of course, Shakespeare would have loved your ratings system-- 'Twelfth Night' would have been lucky to have lasted one!" --Max Headroom

I, on the other hand, have not had any problems downloading with ZTerm. I just use sz and it works like a charm. My setup: se/30, 2400 bps, 5 meg silicon with virtual memory on, Sys 7 (of course), Eyeballs, gatekeeper, moire, and more... --Erik (evensen@husc9.harvard.edu)

I have no idea what might be causing the screen to go white with black dots during a transfer. I do know of two possible problems. Someone said the key remapping for older machines (option for control) was not working. Also, if you run ZTerm off a floppy or nearly full disk, you might get 8 beeps at startup. Theres some stuff in there thats not really necessary. (I really am working on a new version of ZTerm. It is going slowly. I must be spending too much time on things like usenet.)

I had remembered reading about someone talking about the keyboard remapping, so this meant that there was a KCHR resource. I used Resedit 2.1 to copy it into system 7, (You could get it out just by double clicking system 7, and draggin it out...;), and now zterm works fine. I selected the ZCHR (I think) resource, using the keyboard control panel program, and everthing is back to normal. I don't have the slightest idea why this helped, and it may be entirely a voodoo kind of approach that's not necessary...but it worked!...;) I'm running a 4MB Mac Plus, gemini 25Mhz 68030accelerator, tons of inits, and system 7 Golden.

For some reason, it works to copy the KCHR into the system file, *even without selecting it in the control panel*. Having done this, ZTerm keyboard mapping works better than it ever did under 6.0.x, in that it only applies to ZTerm. So, I can still type, for example 'pi' or 'curly-f' in the finder while ZTerm is running. Definitely voodoo :-). -- Garth Dickie -- Math Graduate Student? -- dickie@math.wisc.edu
