QTERM V4.3e is dedicated to the memory of Irv Hoff - a programmer who was
a constant insipration while I was developing QTERM. Let us never forget
the work he did for the CP/M community.
Files included in QTERM128.ARK:
-README.1ST You are
QTCHAT.DOC QTERM chat scripts documentation
QTERM.COM QTERM, patched for a 1670
QTERM-SL.COM QTERM, patched for the SwiftLink-232
QTERM.DOC QTERM documentation
QTERM.FOR Quick description of what QTERM can do for you
QTERM.PAT Patch information for QTERM
QT-C128.Z Patch area source for the 1670 version
QT-C128X.Z Patch area source for the SwiftLink-232 version
WHATS.NEW Upgrade list of what's changed since V4.2g
For those that are interested, the name actually arose because in mid 1985
I needed a terminal program for my CP/M machine (A Televideo 803) and
put a quick 1/2K program together in under an hour. This program has been
growing ever since, but the name Q(uick) TERM(inal) program remains.
I give thanks to Dave Goodman, Tom Bopp, Larry Moore, Dave Presberg, Andy
Meyer, David Douthitt, Mitch Mitchell and Jim Bianchi for all their help
in debugging and beta testing QTERM, and to all the other people who have
sent in patches and suggestions. I'd never have got it anything like
working and as full featured without all your help.
Credit is also due the unknown author of the UNIX Kermit implementation
that I used for the basis of the Kermit code here, and to Steve Grandi
who wrote the Xmodem program in C that provided the basis for the Xmodem
code in QTERM.
If you need to get hold of me for any reason (need help with patches, or
a patch file to send my way), I can be reaced at:

A few notes:
These two versions use the C128's <ESC> key as the escape for special
functions
Take a look in WHATS.NEW to see what has changed since V4.2g
QTERM V4.2 style patches will still work with QTERM V4.3e
VT100.TC got dropped since it's no longer needed - see WHATS.NEW for details
Since I've had several requests over the years to release the source, it
has been released. Modify it if you want, but please check back
with me before you release a version, and let me know what changes
you made, if they're useful I may put them into the next version.
As a side note to this, if you come across a version, and you are
not sure if it's been modified, check with me and I can give you
the correct CRCK values for the original V4.3e.
These versions have Mike Freeman's fix for the Ymodem problem already
applied, so that won't need to be worried about.
