Considering that even the BlueWave-format is not free it might not be 
so strange after all... :-(

I think I'll go and write my own *free* format, or perhaps join in the 
development of NiKoms OffDown-format...

I just downloaded the 2.4 version of Term and CHARACTER CUT AND PASTE WORKS!!!
So now is there a simple way to convert my 2.3 phonebook.pref to work under 
2.4?  I sure would hate to reenter all those phone numbers and setups!

I know that BaudBandit.device worked fine with my Jrcomm(and the new
version I am Beta testing).  It did not work however with the Citade3l
er.. Citadel BBS program(I maintain the Amiga Citadel).  I don't do
anything unusual and open the port Shared, Xon/Xoff disabled, and
use Serial 7 wire.  Other than read and writes to the serial Port,
I do a query.  It just kinds locks up when I tried it.  It does 
seem to be quite a bit faster than the regular serial.device.
 
Anyone know why it doesn't work?

  I just got the latest version of term (non-2.4) because I was sick of VLTs
crazy review buffer system.  I would like to make some suggestions regarding
the future of term (an *extremely* promising piece of code):
   First, hats off to the class and style of term, now some slams ;)

*  Review buffer design (things *needed*)
  Split-screen review buffer, rather than putting it on a seperate screen.
  Ability to cut,paste, and copy from buffer to clipboards and files, and
    visa-versa.
  Ability to control the *speed* of paste.  ie. char delays and line delay.
    At 2400 baud paste is WAY to fast.  And speed is also good for bad
    connections.
  Ability to *paste* from files.
  Ability to paste with line prefixes and suffixes. [needed for responding
    on brain-dead systems].

*  VLT compatability.
  I don't understand what happened to term and the latest version of VLT. But
for some reason when you have "destructive backspace" set wehn you hit the
left arrow while editing a file you erase those characters.  Hitting right
arrow will cause those characters to reapper (or ^L).  If you disable the
destructive backspace then you can't erase with the backspace key while you're
typing (assuming you switch backspace and delete, etc etc).  Regardless, the
end result is either good editing of a file, OR good ability while typing
text.  This under VI by the way.
  This definitely must be corrected, hopefully on both programs.

   Other than that is seems pretty great.  Unfortunetly these flaws make it
unusable for me -- so I really havn't gotten a chance to fully check it out.
If either of the above mentioned problems are simple my mistake in my options
(on either term or VLT) PLEASE tell me so I can set it up correctly.

Thanks for listening.
Ciao...

         Good luck term -- best looking program award for sure.

Just found something else out.  It seems intermittent with just Term and those 
apps listed above running, but as soon as I run something else and write to floppy i get Errors in a big way, and Term seems to think that I have told it to 
print a screen, and is waiting for the printer.

VLT is a VT100 emulator, and <FF> (0x0C) is not a sequence that clears the
screen on a VT100. You could add a trap for this which might work okay,
something along the lines:

        trap add install "*X0C" "clear"

which you should run in an init script. Since trap parsing is slightly
asynchronous with the screen display, you may lose some characters at times
but it should be better than nothing...

  Mark Welmat down as a 'no'.  I have not tested it myself, but
the lack of TermArray support means that baudbandit.device will not
work with Welmat V1.  I have no idea if it will work with Welmat V0.44 
or V.47.

From my understanding Portal charges $13.95 / month regardless of useage.
Extra charges come from:  carrier fees (be them long distance or Tymnet or 
Telnet) and $.04/k/day storage fees.  If you go in through the Inet you
lose the carrier charges right off (assuming you don't pay for your
non-portal account.)  But why would you want a Portal account if you already
have an account with internet access?  I can't think of one service on Portal
that isn't available through the internet.

patchsupra (gives you GPFax 2.041 from GPFax 2.01) is available on my
BMS in the directory BMS:Pub/COMM/patchsupra.lha. If somebody tells me
some short description on how to upload a file to let`s say wuarchive,
I can put it there, too. I know how to use FTP, but have never uploaded
something. So I would need to know the command to upload, where to upload
and if and how to include a short description with it. And other things
to watch... like... this special command, which prevents this planet from
blowing up. :-)
I just ask for this, so that I don`t get half a million complains from
people that I did a tiny mistake somewhere.

I've got essentially the same setup you do.  The best you can really
hope for is about 1500 - 1600 cps (give or take a little) on a binary
download.  English text (or anything that compresses well) might give
you up to 1900 or even 2000 cps, but that's absolutely best case.

The serial.device on an unaccelerated 500 can't go beyond 19200
reliably.  If I set it higher than that I get CRC errors when I
download.  Even at 19200 I get the occasional CRC error.
BaudBandit.device is *supposed* to work at higer rates but I've never
actually found it to be better than the standard serial.device.

On the other hand, TwinExpress (a serial Amiga <-> IBM transfer
program) can drive the serial port quite fast; much faster than 19200.
It's theoretically possible for something like BaudBandit to increase
the maximum port speed for an arbitrary term program.  And I hope
someday I find it.  :-)

In JRComm it's *essential* that you have the screen set at 8 or fewer

it helps!
