Well, I'm stuck in midterms right now--history toorrow morning, philosophy on
Monday morning. :-( Even without those circumstances, though, there's still a
bunch of other stuff to get written:  polish up the modem driver, then write a
display driver and a BIOS to tie the two together and allow the selection of
different display drivers for different emulations.  The BIOS will also tie
in a file transfer protocol, so any type of transfer protocol will probably
be the last thing written.  Personally, I can't wait for me to get a working
ZMODEM put together, either.  I heard from someone, though, that Andy Nicholas
is working on a ZMODEM for the II--only thing my program will do that his
might not will be ANSI emulation, and who knows?  He might even do that, now
that someone's mentioned it. :-)
