I am the keeper of the source for JAFT, a TVI910 emulator for the C-64
that was written by a fellow student (Justin McCormick) here at USL.
What I am wondering is:

a) is there a large demand for a terminal emulator of this nature? USL
has a terminal room full of TVI910s, so Justin naturally emulated that
terminal. I see that most people want VT-100 emulators or whatever...
Justin was going to put that into JAFT, but he got an Amiga, so
naturally his C-64 lost its allure. Plus he hasn't gotten to compilers
and scanning theory yet, so he had trouble with the hair of VT100
syntax.

b) should I post the complete sources (about 65K of source written
with the Merlin assembler), just the encoded object, 5k or so (the
Merlin assembler isn't exactly well-known), or nothing at all?

I am not going to mail out individual copies. Our phone bill is
already running in the thousands of dollars...

Actually, what I'm sort of hoping is that somebody has the time to
hack away at JAFT and add some useful features like xmodem transfers,
screen dumps, etc... right now I'm doing extensive ML work on a
program my brother is writing (which hopefully will be commercially
successful in its niche market), and don't have time to mess with
JAFT.
