Don't try Red Ryder 9.4!  I paid for it, received an unreadable Maxwell disk
in response.  I tried to communicate to the author, but he has ignored every
attempt.  I even tried to redownload if from GEnie, and even with their rates
it was another 10 bucks (I figured if it was worth $40, maybe it was worth $50).
However, my phone lines are too noisy I guess, 'cause after 1 hour 40 minutes
the download failed.

The bottom line is, if you need a good reliable terminal emulator, use
MacTerminal or VersaTerm or some other professional product.  If you try
Red Ryder,  you might just be throwing your money away.  You certainly won't
get professional support.  (Another point: I don't believe the author has
updated the documentation since version 8.0, and I recall that many
enhancments/features were added since then.)

(Scott, if you send me a working copy of RR, I promise I'll post a retraction
about what I said concerning Red Ryder support.)
