- Thanks for the report (I'm cwr) but I suggest you drop that version,
- which from it's date is a late alpha. If it had had a number, it would
- have been 1.1; it was ok on the IBM PC, but not so good on other versions
- of Minix and it wasn't too reliable. Try and get hold of 1.2, which was
- posted around October 91, and had a small set of bug fixes around January
- 92 to make it 1.2.1. Warren Toomey's archive has the master copies.

- I'll take a look at the snags anyway; after months of procrastination,
- I've finally got the VT100 emulator for cu finished. All I had to do
- was steal it from Minicom, it really shouldn't have taken so long.
- However, that means 1.3 can be beta tested and I'll check that none
- of those bugs are still hanging around. I added Wietse Venema's fix
- to the 'g' driver; after a year of news feeds, I hadn't noticed a
- problem. 1.3 is no great change from 1.2, so it isn't worth hanging
- around for; you can now use cu to run an editor, and multiple bang
- paths are supported, and the dialling code is very different (possibly
- better, or possibly not).

- Good luck - Will
