I have a rudimentary VT100 working in Z-Link. Now that I have a full, simple
description of the codes, I'll be hacking away getting those features
implemented.

I do have one problem. So far, after Z-Link has been up and around for roughly
a month and a half, nobody has sent me any money. I'm dissapointed, to say the
least. I know there are people out there using Z-Link, they've sent me mail
complimenting it (by the way, I still have your addresses, I don't delete
friendly mail).

I will complete VT100 and finish up another part of the program which remains
incomplete. I'll post that, and then no more unless I see *some* evidence
that it's being used (ie *somebody* pays for it). If any of you do decide to
pay for it, send me some e-mail (so I can get a return address) and I will
e-mail updates to you personally. You say to yourself "goodie! one last update
and screw him! I won't pay!" Oh well. You lose out on Binary II and Kermit
and other goodies as I think of them.

I'm sorry if this sounds a bit selfish, but I've worked hard on Z-Link, and I
really thought there would be some payment for my work. (Author of TIC: you've
felt the same crunch: how do I go about getting it published and distributed
proffesionally? I'm a busy student, and I haven't got the time or resources to
runs things out of my room.)

Flames to this posting will most likely be ignored.
