-
- atari.archive.umich.edu IS terminator! All K-65 files are in the
- /atari/8bit/telecomm subdir.

-
- Almost. It runs and everything, but it mostly still thinks the screen is
- only 40 columns wide. This produces a variety of weird behaviors, like
- incoming clear-screen commands clearing only half the screen!
-
- Those people that have been here a while may recall my begging for someone
- to fix K-65 so it runs better on the XEP80. I gave up begging when I found
- VT850 - a VT100/VT102 emulator designed with the XEP80 in mind. I'm on it
- right now! I'd still like to the Kermit-65/XEP80 combination perfected
- though, as K-65 is overall a more solid piece of software than VT850 IMO.
