In article <135@obi-wan> barsh@stsci.EDU (John Barshinger) writes about
the features that he added to R2.6.  I have already sent him e-mail
detailing what I plan to do in 2.8 (including overscan support,
beep-at-end-of-xfer, ZMODEM support, kermit long-packet support, FONT
selection from init file and some bug fixes).  2.8 should be available
around the end of this year.  Please don't inundate the net with pros or
cons about John's posting.  If you want new features or have a bug or
two that you'd like to see fixed, *please* send me e-mail.  If you are
unhappy with VT100 and don't like my support please don't release a new
version of VT100...just use your code to produce a new program and call
it something different from VT100.

I'm not trying to be a fascist about this.  I'm trying to produce a
usable, flexible, small (<75K) PD terminal program that evolves based on
the wants and needs of its users.  To do this I feel that it *must* be
maintained by one individual.  If you feel that I'm doing a poor job
just let me know and I'll stand down (note that I believe that John just
didn't receive a copy of the readme and/or doc files with his copy of
VT100, not that he's complaining about its support).
