- I'd be happy with a GS/OS-based terminal program that had all of ProTERM's
- features, even if it were text-based. The text screen would provide the
- speed, and using GS/OS for memory management would allow the use of inits
- and DA's (I mean make them more compatible). Who knows, you might even be
- able to run it in background with GNO.
-
- Now that I think about it, what I REALLY want is ProTERM GS.
