- Can someone please tell me a terminal I can get here that supports the 1764
- REU? Thanks

- The only term I know of is CGterm for the C128 (which runs with Ramdos ),
- but that is second hand as I'm not a c128 user. For c64 users, I'm unaware of
- any support for the REU at this time. It's a nice option, so one will turn up
- eventually.
- Sorry I can't be the bearer of better tidings,

- Well, since Ted has brought up the C-128, one term that does support the REU
- family is UltraTerm 3.0 A real nice package. I have been using it with a
- 1764 plugged into the C-128, and as long as you remember that you have only
- 256K, your fine! <Sorry, but I gave up looking for a 1750). Ultra Term is a
- commercial product. You might be able to ask the author Steve Boerner (GEnei
- address S.BOERNER) more about this 128 term. Gee, R.Smith, I hope ya got a
- 128!

- Bill, A few more terms that use the #1764, and/or #1750 on the 128 are the
- Term that comes with Chris Smeets' DOS. It also does ANSI color graphics, Y
- modem batch transfers, smart "batch" script files, etc. If you get the idea
- that I like this one, you are right. Oh, the REU too is used to call
- routines, and as one huge buffer. (Chris describes this as a bare bones
- Term......) Also, using the REU, this time as a RAM disk drive is
- Commodore's VT100-128, ver 2.0. Just run RAMdisk first to set it up, and vt100-
- 128 looks to it as just another drive, but a fast one.... And, doesn't the
- old Sixth Sense 128 also use the REU? There does seem to be stuff that will
- let you, up/down load, and buffer using it. BTW....Someone is working
- on having two #1750's running concurrently, and something on this should
- be available soon. I probably will be needing a second #1750. :) Howie

- I believe the Y-modem batch used by Chris Smeets' TERM is not the same
- implementation as GEnie's, and it doesn't work. What he calls 'Y-modem' is the
- same as GEnie's Xmodem 1k (and it works wonderfully). I also like using that
- term because it has an option to un-archive ARC files AS THEY ARE DOWNLOADED.
- There is a very small loss of speed, but at 1200 baud it's negligible.

- R.Smith, I may have found something for you in my bbs wanderings. If I
- read the post correctly, Color 64 bbs has a Term within it, which will
- give you REU access. Now, I know your original request was for a Term from
- Genie, but since no one has yet come up with any, commercial or PD, that
- uses the REU, you may find this a satisfactory interim solution.
-
- Here's the post that I am referring to. I quess if you have any
- questions, you can contact the writer direct in the Commodore section on
- the Net-Exchange, PCP's bbs. From what is posted, is seems Color 64 makes
- for a nice Term too:

- Ok, here goes as to what i am using. I run a small Color 64 BBS in
- Huntington Beach, Calif. I have a 128 and a 64c and have used PC P with
- my term within the bbs prg and also CCGMS 5.5, but mainly the bbs term
- within the prg as its easier and allows me all the plus' like
- downloading or uploading to the 1750 ram and geting to any of my IEEE
- drives which most Commodore terms don't allow. I now have a Supra 2400
- with an Omnitronics Deluxe rs232 interface but till i got that I had my
- trusty old 1670 for over 3 years. Now I have only been using PC P for a
- short time (4 months), and only call out using 3 access #s 1200 in
- Garden Grove, 1200 in Santa Ana and 2400 in Santa Ana. I have called
- other Color 64 boards and some Cnet systems in most every city PC P
- allows and have *NEVER* had an error problem that caused a problem with
- an upload or a download. I am totally happy with it for my uses and
- plan on keeping it for the time being. I don't claim to be an expert or
- know all the answers, but I for one like my Color 64 software for its
- flexibility with all kinds oh hardware and the fantastic support you
- get from the author and his support boards all over the country. I have
- taken up a new hobby since getting PC P and that is collecting "mods"
- for the bbs that are found all over the usa. It's like collecting
- stamps. Where else do you get a (1) block file with a (2) page doc file
- for it?

- It seems that the 128 is not the only REU user, with Terms.

- And coincidentally, the author of COLOR64BBS is right here in our little
- FlagShip! His name is Greg Pfountz, he is a SysOp here, and his GEmail address
- is COLOR64BBS (naturally!) ... Greg, any clarification? Will the Term program
- run without having the whole BBS package?

- Yes, Color 64's built in terminal makes good use of the 1764 ram modules, just
- like it does from within the BBS - and no, there is no way to pull out just
- the terminal program into a standalone product - much of the code used by the
- built in terminal is also the same code used by the BBS itself. I am
- surprised that nobody has found a C64 terminal that does allow you using the
- 1764 as a ram disk - it really does speed up file xfers - and when calling LD
- or a network like this, time is money!!

- I think someone mentioned, at a club meeting, that Runterm on RUN's new
- productivity disk would support the ram expanders. Anyone able to confirm
- this?
- (or deny it?)

- RunTerm
- Yes, the latest version of RunTerm which is on the RUN WORKS disk supports
- a 1700 or 1750 REU on the C128, or a 1764 on the C64 version. The way iit
- works is to allow you to capture text into the REU as an extended capture
- buffer. You cannot use it for downloading to as a ramdisk. Once the text is
- captured, you can save it (in 64K chunks) to disk as seq files, which can be
- printed or edited by any seq word processor.

- That is exactly what I am looking for!
- Opening the buffer and letting her rip and then leisurelly looking at the
