I run a BBS here in Los Angeles, and I got an upload this weekend of a file
that claims to be ZTerm 1.0. I'm skeptical, however, since I have heard that
the next released version from Dave Alverson would be 0.90.

The only difference between the version I got and the 0.85 version was the 
addition of a Scripting menu, which has four choices, none of which seem to
do anything, and the addition of two or three new transfer protocols, which
are primarily PC world protocols, but will hopefully make it into the Mac 
world someday.

So, I dunno if Dave reads this, but can anyone confirm that this is a hack? 
I assume it is, but confirmation would be nice. There was some concern that 
it was a trojan of some kind, but it hasn't wiped my hard disk yet or done 
anything vicious. I'll poke into the application tonight and see what I come 
up with...

Thanks,
