	[ description of JRcomm 1.0 bugs deleted ]

I've been using JRcomm 1.0 for nearly a week now, several hours a day,
switching between VT-100 and IBM color modes, and haven't seen any of
the problems you describe.  The only problem I've had is with line-wrap
in VT-100 mode, and that may be a function of the UNIX terminfo entry
I'm using or bugs in the UNIX programs.  I've never seen any VT-100 emulator
for the Amiga work completely correctly with every UNIX program I use).

There is a note on Radigan's BBS that there is indeed a problem using
1.0 with a 2091 controller, causing a guru at some point.  I don't have
that configuration, so I didn't pay attention to the details, but you
might try calling his BBS to find out the real scoop: 609-625-2453.
