Message-ID: <19382@amdahl.amdahl.com> Date: 10 Dec 87 00:24:51 GMT References: <135@obi-wan> Reply-To: acs@amdahl.com (Tony Sumrall) Organization: Amdahl Corporation, Sunnyvale CA Lines: 24 Keywords: VT100 terminal emulator 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). -- Tony Sumrall acs@amdahl.com <=> amdahl!acs [ Opinions expressed herein are the author's and should not be construed to reflect the views of Amdahl Corp. ]
