I did, but I couldn't convince Greg to release it, even under the plan of "ftp it from us, send us $99, and we'll support you if we get around to it." I have the only running copy of TERM for FreeBSD, and would not make another without Greg's permission. Lon Willet also had a port to NetBSD that differed from mine in a few trivial ways; his probably featured slightly better performance but mine was cleaner and easier to build. ;^) TERM really *is* a killer package. You can actually emulate a SCO console, a Wyse 60, or an IBM 3101 in an xterm. It also has the best file transfer (i.e. asynch/modem) engine anywhere. If you want it released for *BSD/Linux, mailto:greg@censoft.com and tell him. I'm sure he'll appreciate hearing from you. No, don't go mail-bomb the place, just let him know the UNIX marketplace is still viable and he can make some money there. Tell your Linux friends, too. ;^) -- "Where am I, and what am I doing in this handbasket?" Wes Peters Softweyr LLC http://www.xmission.com/~softweyr softweyr@xmission.com
