TIC is now in version 3.10. Version 2.05 is pretty out of date. TIC is what I use when I'm not on the VAX. It has excellent uploading and downloading capabilities, and a really nice text editor. Cost is $40 from Carolina System Software 3207 Berkeley Forest Drive, Columbia, SC 29209-4111. A bonus is that TICs author, Don Elton, can be reached from the net at delton@pro-carolina.cts.com I don't have anything to do w/ Carolina System Software except that I use TIC and think it is a very good program. >Kermit does have two distinct advantages over ProTERM, however -- it's not a >commercial program (I think it's freeware/PD, but I forget since it's been so >long since I looked at it), and it's made to work VERY well with file >transfers with mainframes, et al.

I recommend trying that before you spend any money on something else. > /====================================================\ > | ProLine...: pro-novapple!sbennett | > | UUCP......: crash!pro-novapple!sbennett | > | ARPA......: crash!pro-novapple!sbennett@nosc.mil | > | InterNet..: sbennett@pro-novapple.cts.com | > \====================================================/ Kevin Lepard Bitnet: Sasquatch@albion.bitnet Disclaimer: These opinions do not necessarily represent those of Albion College, but they probably should.
