Full documentation is included in this Packit III package. Basic features and improvements over FreeTerm 1.8 - FreeTerm 1.8 was limited to operation at speeds <= 2400 baud, which limited its usefulness to dial-up connections. FreeTerm 2.0 supports connections at 4800, 9600, 19200, and 57600 as well; it uses XOFF/XON flow control to prevent buffer overruns at high line speeds [this feature can be disabled]. - FreeTerm 2.0 supports the new extensions to the MacBinary file- encoding standard, as described in a document posted several weeks ago. - FreeTerm 2.0 is capable of unpacking any file that was packed by PackIt I, II, or III, or any other utility that produces a packed/compressed file in PackIt format. - FreeTerm 2.0's window can be resized (24*80 down to 4*15). - FreeTerm 2.0 remembers the most recent 20 full 24*80 screens; you can scroll back through the saved lines in the usual fashion. - You can send all 128 ASCII characters (and "break"). - "Fast-track" XMODEM is supported, for those of you who use Compu$erve and have clean, error-free transmission lines. FreeTerm 2.0 is still free, as its name implies... noncommercial distribution is encouraged; commercial distribution is prohibited without written permission of Dreams of the Phoenix, Inc. FreeTerm 2.0 is copyright 1987 by William Bond; portions are copyright 1986 by THINK Technologies, Inc. (which gives you a pretty good idea of the development system that was used ;-) Path: /www/exparrot/files.tidbits.com/info-mac/comm/term/freeterm-20.hqx Fri, 17 Mar 2006 22:50:51 -0800 http://www.applefritter.com/node/9771 I bought a used Mac II in 2004 for $10. Adhered to the underside, in a clear clip-cover, was the original packing-slip/invoice when it was purchased March 4th, 1988. They bought all the extras: Extra RAM, 2400 baud modem and nice software suite. It's hard to believe that all this was over $8,000! After scanning and processing the JPEG document for Applefritter, I blocked out the phone numbers and address of the company. Image jpeg size is 774x871 at 72dpi.
