   Therein lies a very legitimate potential problem. I stand to gain very
little financially from DesTerm registrations. Matt and I have agreed that 
our motivation for doing DesTerm has been to get a top-notch terminal out 
there, and that the registrations were intended to cover development expenses 
and provide better support. It is in that spirit that the program was posted 
here, though I can see how some sysadmins might feel otherwise. Reader 
comment is welcome as always and, in this case, outright invited: does 
DesTerm distribution and support constitute a misuse of facilities donated to 
comp.sys.cbm?
