Is a fixed version now being distributed with the OW3 release?
And is there somewhere I could ftp a re-compilable version?

Don't even look.  The Makefile is broken - windowargs.c is no longer
necessary.  The Makefile we use to do the builds for the release makes
some assumptions about the environment which are extremely unlikely to
be valid at a customer site, so we keep a separate one to install with
the source.  There were some last minute changes to Jet, just before the
release was packaged up for final test and shipment, and the Makefile
changes didn't get checked in.  (We did find this during testing, but
it wasn't considered critical enough to restart the release process for.)

>(Btw Pat, your From and Reply-To fields are looking a bit terse.)

Umm, how terse?  I'm running an xview-based newsreader at home, connected
to our newsserver at work via NNTP over PPP.  To make sure that all of my
mail goes to one place, I manually munge the headers so that my postings
appear to come from my work machine.  I may have made some bad assumptions
about what the underlying posting code will do to the headers after I hit
the deliver button...

(Please try to e-mail any response to this question - this really isn't
the right group for this digression...)

Actually, to be fair of the two standard X based terminal emulators (at least
on Suns)  cmdtool/shelltool doesn't do scrolling and curses at once, while
xterm does. Thats 1 out of 2, or 2 out of 3 if you count jet.

Whats unique about jet is doing drop and drag at the same time as either
curses emulation or scrolling.

It sure was a big a disappointment to me that OW3 didn't bring any real
cmdtool/shelltool enhancements. Given how much time one spends in a terminal
emulator, this is a bad place to cut corners.

TNT doesn't actually enforce anything.  But it's generally more difficult
to get non-OpenLook behavour.  However, this is one of the cases where
application-specific functionality is required, and the author of jet
chose to only allow selection in the visible area.  (He also didn't
implement Quick selections.)  These are both known bugs which may be fixed
in some future release.

It's also one of a very few that deals with both scrolling and curses-type
control sequences at the same time.

There is currently a vote on renaming comp.window.ms.* to
comp.os.ms-windows.* (see news.announce.newgroups for details).

Maybe that will make the MS Windows users stay away from
comp.window.misc and comp.window.news.

I suggest we don't rename or moderate news and misc groups, until we
have seen if the MS rename helps.

I have an old Televideo 925 lying around that I used to use to dial into

I have seen Wyse terminals WY120/WY60 that lose brightness to the extent that
the terminal is unusable within a few months. Tweaking an internal pot
can fix this temporarily but a new monitor or terminal is the only real 
fix. The screen alignment on the majority of Wyse's is very poor. Some
