PD2: TM200-1.ARC etc are the files (I believe this to be the correct version, since the sencond file is TM200-2A.ARC) I tried it. It's nice, but it has one major drawback in my opinion. It runs like molasses on my 4.77 Mhz XT. Actually, it's the terminal output that is so slow, the editor and such pop up quite nicely, the mouse behaves great and so forth, but the text from the modem is just to slow and "jumpy" for my taste. I'd probably use it if I had a 12Mhz AT or maybe even a turbo XT. Notice, I only played with it an hour or so; when it became apparent that the terminal emulator was slow I gave up on it, so don't take this as a very strong endorsement. I just think that this program is a viable alternative to using a comm program and an editor under Windows or Desqview. -- -- WARNING!!!
