- QTERM V4.3e is dedicated to the memory of Irv Hoff - a programmer who was
- a constant insipration while I was developing QTERM. Let us never forget
- the work he did for the CP/M community.
-
-
- Files included in QTERM43E.LBR:
-
- -README.1ST You are
- QTCHAT.DYC QTERM chat scripts documentation
- QTERM.CYM QTERM, unpatched
- QTERM.DYC QTERM documentation
- QTERM.FOR Quick description of what QTERM can do for you
- QTERM.PYT Patch information for QTERM
- QT-PATCH.ZY Patch area source, to provide a basis to work with
- WHATS.NEW Upgrade list of what's changed since V4.2g
-
-
- Patch info for making QTERM work on your system is included in QTERM.PAT.
- As provided, QTERM will work on a Televideo 803 (or a TPC-1), because
- that's what I developed it on. Note that not all the patches are
- necessary, but the more optional ones you get going, the more features
- QTERM will have. QTERM.PAT also includes a reference to a "1K patch
- overlay". I'm trying to collect as many of these as possible, so if you
- can, try to get yours back to me, with a memo telling which computer it
- works on, and which of the optional patches you have included.
-
-
- The .?Y? files are made with the new LZH compression method, this typically
- produces files 10 to 15 to 20 % smaller than CRUNCH. EXL.COM (in EXL.LBR)
- is one tool that will decompress these, or CRLZH11.LBR is the original
- .LBR for LZH compression.
-
-
- For those that are interested, the name actually arose because in mid 1985
- I needed a terminal program for my CP/M machine (A Televideo 803) and
- put a quick 1/2K program together in under an hour. This program has been
- growing ever since, but the name Q(uick) TERM(inal) program remains.
-
-
- I give thanks to Dave Goodman, Tom Bopp, Larry Moore, Dave Presberg, Andy
- Meyer, David Douthitt, Mitch Mitchell and Jim Bianchi for all their help
- in debugging and beta testing QTERM, and to all the other people who have
- sent in patches and suggestions. I'd never have got it anything like
- working and as full featured without all your help.
-
-
- Credit is also due the unknown author of the UNIX Kermit implementation
- that I used for the basis of the Kermit code here, and to Steve Grandi
- who wrote the Xmodem program in C that provided the basis for the Xmodem
- code in QTERM.

- A few notes:
-
- Take a look in WHATS.NEW to see what has changed since V4.2g
-
- QTERM V4.2 style patches will still work with QTERM V4.3e
-
- VT100.TC got dropped since it's no longer needed - see WHATS.NEW for details
-
- Since I've had several requests over the years to release the source, it
- has been released. Modify it if you want, but please check back
- with me before you release a version, and let me know what changes
- you made, if they're useful I may put them into the next version.
- As a side note to this, if you come across a version, and you are
- not sure if it's been modified, check with me and I can give you
- the correct CRCK values for the original V4.3e.
