#Terminal Probs
I hope this gets to the right persons.
Could someone please fix the Access! and AMIC terminal programs so that they
multi-task better. I would love to use and pay for these wonderful programs
but I don't use them and therefore haven't payed for them yet because they
don't multi-task well. I use Wombat Term at the moment because even at 2400
baud using "fast/unforgiving XMODEM" (as WTP calls it) I can still dearc files
that I've just downloaded while I download the next one. I can view pictures.
I can edit text in TxEd. At this very moment I am downloading XMAS.ARC from
DL16 on CIS with the parameters mentioned above while I compose this message.
When when I've tried Access! and AMIC they really hog the machine and trying to
edit or even type something from the CLI becomes a chore.
Please take this as constructive input. I think all the features of Access!
and AMIC are really cool but both of these program effectively turn my Amiga
back into a single-tasking machine. Maybe a look at the source to Wombat term
would help.

Thank you for listing. GreggT 🙂
. Wednesday I even got a ASDG-RAM: full message while downloading ROLL1.ARC
(ie. Using FAST/UNFORGIVING XMODEM at 2400 Baud) and WTP didn't have any
problems. I just quickly deleted a few files and pressed RETRY and off it
went. NOTE: this "ps" really has nothing to do will WTP's ability to
multi-task.
