- I think I have Joe's Terminal stuff. I have written it into C and it goes
- really well. I haven't tested it yet so .. (lets say, if I were Acorn) ...
- its ready to go. Anyone wanting it early I might send it to, if I get lots of
- replys then I might stay up late and then post it to Newcastle.

- The last thing I remember is it dropped a char or two at 19200 baud, and the
- configuration (although menued) was still hard coded. There is also a problem
- when the user of the terminal types things like taskwindow, and the alerts are
- sent to the desktop - it can quickly turn into a small game of annoy the other
- user.
