Just a couple of random things:



I have BLU v2.27. Is there a later version than that out? If so, can someone
send it to me?

So far, nobody has answered my question about APW/ORCA differences. Nor
has anyone sent me ordering info (order #s for APDA). Are you all sworn to
secrecy about this? Somebody please say *something*.

Some Z-Link news: a few people have sent me notes saying "Gosh Dave, VT100
doesn't work at all..." Well, this is and is not true. VT100 works fine.
One of the commands (specifically "go into insert character mode") was mis-
interpreted as "get out of ANSI mode". Thus, when Emacs or whatever wanted
to go into insert mode, Z-Link promptly fell out of ANSI mode. I've fixed
that. I'm also investigating another oddity (vt102 screwed up big time, but
I think it's the termcap file here - not Z-Link). I'll re-post in 4-bit in a
while (I forgot that 6-bit tends to get munged when crossing over to BITNET).

whitney@think.com                          technical info appreciated.
