I have just sent VT100 R2.8 to the moderators.  R2.9 is already in the
works!  High on the list of new features is support of external transfer
programs.  I have not yet decided how I intend to do this but am leaning
toward a simple "suspend/restore" mechanism rather than elaborate use of
pipes and/or I/O redirection, primarily in order to accomodate as many
external programs as possible and not require them to be rewritten.  If
you have any strong feelings one way or the other, please let me know.
Additionally, as I will no longer need to incorporate new protocols I
can more easily add new features while keeping VT100 < 75K so send me
your favorite feature request!

I'll post more news about new features as it becomes available and I'll be
contacting those of you whose feature requests I said I'd consider for
2.9.
