I'm looking for any information that will confirm/deny the rumors of the SkyPIX
standards being supported in ANY future/current release(s) of ANY terminal
software.  Currently, as far as I know, DemoTERM is the only terminal program
that does (shareware available on any Atredes BBS database). The Atredes folks
claim that ACCESS and possibly JrCOMM among others have intentions of adding
this extention to the ANSI commands currently supported. 

FYI: SkyPix is the command standard used by Atredes to allow REAL
graphic control, Font control, menu gadgets, IFF brush and IFF sound
transmision.  I do so hope a more full featured terminal package (compared
to demoterm) comes out soon with this support.
