Well, I decided with a review like this got, it had to be awesome.
WinComm really is an incredible advancement over WINQVT.
It's really very complete as far as features.

However, I have found that the zmodem doesn't like talking to my
zmodem program I had been previously using with WNQVT!  I had a
similar problem when trying out much older versions of UNICOM
(but I gave up on that).  However, if I give up zmodem for ymodem-g
I can put 238 cps through my 2400 baud modem (or at least that's what
it reports)-- an this is while I'm using GCP42s to show a GIF!
(of this I was very impressed)

Another problem I have found is that I can't get vi (a unix full screen
editor to work properly).  It would appear that the terminal's vt102
emulation isn't complete and can't respond to the unix resize command.

The only other problem I've had thus far with this great terminal is
with it's keyboard remapping program.  I want to change my backspace
to <<DEL>> and that's ok.  But when I save it, god knows where it
goes because when I want to use it, it doesn't appear where I put it!

Anyone got any ideas????

And by the way, how much is this thing?  It's really great...and where
do you send the moeny while you're it it.   ;)

Thanks for uploading it!
