Ok, so I have gathered that Tony isn't going to do any more work on this
program... That's ok, it's great anyway.  I've uploaded the patch to make it
work on the ][gs and to fix the copy buffer problem to America Online and I'd
post it on the comp.binaries thing, but I can't figure out how to.  Hopefully
someone else will get it from America Online and post it here if anyone is
interested.

As for the Snowterm program... Yeah, that's a really nice program too.  I'd
like to see it working in its finished form as well (with ANSI), but right
now I don't see a great advantage to it yet.  With protocol transfers and
ANSI graphics emulation, it'd problably quickly replace all of my terminals.
