I was just wondering about uniterm and zmodem last night!  It has been
a very looong time since Simon Poole released a new version of uniterm.

I was wondering if anybody (Simon?) knows if a new version will ever
come out?  If Simon even still programming for the ST?

Anyway, I'd love to see a version of zmodem built into Uniterm.  I've
been using uniterm's built-in xmodem, but it will accept an EOT during
the middle of a binary transfer and basically hang/mung the transfer.

Zmodem with its built-in error recovery seems like an obvious win.

If Simon isn't maintaining the Uniterm source, has he released it to
anybody else to maintain?

Thanks,
