 (**** WARNING, SOMEWHAT COMMERCIAL*****)

        I've received a lot of mail messages in my responce to the
possibility of a multi-user BBS on an AMIGA. It seems that there
is a lot of interest in the VT100 emulator I spoke of. I post this
message here for two reasons:

1. At the moment we are unable to directly respond to a lot of mail
   messages (sorry).

2. This appears to be of general interest.

        The VT100 emulator I spoke of will be a commercial product from
CBM/AMIGA called AmigaTerm which (I estimate) 'should' be out by the
end of March.

Notable features include:

- support of all the VT100 character sets (UK, USA, SPC GFX, ALT ROM
  and ALT ROM SPC GFX) in both 80 and 128 column modes.
- actual throughput of over 9000 baud
- XMODEM, COMPU-SERVE B, and NONE file transfer protocols
- capture buffer, view/print file, etc.

        I do not know what the suggested retail price will be. Please note
that I make this posting for general information's sake and not as a
commercial plug for Commodore. Good luck on all your coding!
