Lync was previously known as Simterm. The name has been changed to
avoid any confusion with products from a company called Simware. I
was contacted by this company as they were concerned about possible
confusion with their products. It was in both our best interests for
me to change the name of my program.
The format of Lync's PHN file did not change so you can use your
SIMTERM.PHN file with Lync by renaming it to LYNC.PHN. The format of
the CFG file, however, did change with Lync version 2.0. Since the
format of Simterm 2.0's CFG file is the same as Lync 1.0's, the
utility NEWCFG.COM will work with a Simterm 2.0 CFG file if it is
first renamed to LYNC.CFG. If you were using a version of Simterm
older than 2.0, the file formats are not compatible so you will have
to re-configure Lync.
If you are a BBS sysop and you have any version of Simterm in your
download directories I would ask that you please remove it and replace
it with Lync 2.0. Simterm is a dead program. Besides, Lync is better.
