There appears to be an inordinate interest and excitement regarding 
the Red Ryder / White Knight product. A few of us tried it and were 
surprised at RR's unstable and unpredictable nature and the abstruseness 
of the interface. It seems to require a person that really enjoys hacking
around with all of the various and sundry settings, gadgets, widgets and
other assorted contrivances. 
 
While we are now content with Zterm 0.85 (for UNIX VT-100 emulation and 
very fast zmodem file transfers), if you are one of the aforementioned 
personality types (or just curious), we have an offer for you to consider.
 
We have two copies of Red Ryder 10.3 (both with the doc.) that we are 
willing to sell for $ 25- each ... shipping included & no tax of course.
As there was no registration offered by Freesoft, transfer of the 
Master Disk and documentation should be acceptable. This is an 
inexpensive way to either later upgrade to White Knight or to simply
try RR for yourself. 
 
If you would like to try it, send me Email or give a call ...
