Really, like the magazine. It'll be good to have an associated compuserve board with it. Anyone have a good dumb terminal emulator? tw

Tommy Just how good do you want a dumb terminal emulator to be? I think I've got something here (I'd hafta dig thru my grab bag) that is a VERY dumb terminal emulator. About all it does is send and receive characters — no function keys, macros, or even cursor addressing. But it does use interrupts for the serial input. I'll dig around. Let me know if you're interested. You also might want to look at the TALK program that Ray Duncan presents in chapter 5 (Page 99) of "Advanced MS-DOS" (that book has a fantastic amount of information). JIM

While it's not so dumb, check out Al Stevens' Smallcom communications program here in Lib 0.
