Message-ID: Date: 29 Dec 90 04:32:48 GMT Organization: Rutgers Univ., New Brunswick, N.J. Lines: 28 I have recently downloaded Desterm 2.0, an excellent terminal program. Thank you Matt for this superb program. I did, briefly, use Desterm 1.2 when I borrowed my friends 1670 modem. Now that I have my own 1670 I have upgraded to 2.0. There is still one problem that has held over since the original version. I selected "Light Cyan" as my "Char Color". However, shortly after using the terminal in VT102 mode the character color changes to "Cyan" (the darker version). While this is minor, the darker color can be hard on the eyes. Is this a problem with Desterm or with the VT102 control codes? One other problem also held over from the original is the difficulty in setting up the program for my modem. Although I had less problems this time around, it still took me awhile to get Desterm to work with the 1670. I'm still not sure why it works, I really didn't change anything. I would like to THANK YOU for including the documentation in plain, cbm ascii files that can be read and printed from within Desterm. I had SO MUCH trouble printing the manual in version 1.2 because you formatted it in standard ascii format with linefeeds. I had to write my own small program to strip the linefeeds. Thanks again for the great program. As soon as I start working again (the end of January) I will send you the shareware fee (money is very tight right now).
