I was about to send in my shareware fee for ZTerm when I noticed that the version I had (fresh off Sumex) was over a year old, yet all the docs and abouts and etc seemed to promise great enhancements in the immediate future. Has anyone seen any newer version than 0.85? (That version isn't so bad, but I'll find something else if this is a dead-ended program.)

Well, it's a very popular program among folks hitting FidoNet BBS's primarily for its simplicity, ANSI-PC font, and Zmodem capability, but they've all been bemoaning the phantom upgrade. I gave up waiting for decent VT100 emulation and went with White Knight. Has the ANSI font available, good Zmodem and VT100/102 and capable scripting. The interface is anything but simple, but it's not too hard to figure out. -- Maurice INTERNET: lriggins@blackbird.afit.af.mil (129.92.1.2) Opinions expressed here do not reflect those of my employer nor constitute an official position of any U.S.Government agency.

The author is active on GEnie providing customer support activity. He still speaks of the complete rewrite version due RSN, which will have some macros, etc. You will certainly have to decide for yourself whether it really is dead. I don't think it is. I don't know the reasons for the complete rewrite, but these kind of things cost time. jim -- __ __ / o / Jim Budler jimb@silvlis.com | Proud / / /\/\ /__ Silvar-Lisco, Inc. +1.408.991.6115 | MacIIsi /__/ / / / /__/ 703 E.
