Hi Reimer,

sounds Ok.  But can you tell me this :

	1) whats a pty?
		is it a pseudo tty?

	2) If it is a tty non-block device why does it have a file manager?
		I have not seen your product before!

	3) Can I get it to run on my CoCo III OS9 Level II, with or without hacking?

	4) Is the Z file format generated with the 12 or 16 bit compression mode?

regards,

Walter
