[Ham-Mac] Replacement for MacTNC v.1.1 ?

[Steve Muncy]

I've been out of town and am only back for two days, but let me expand 
on issues related to MacTNC.

The  latest (beta) version  of MacTNC is  version 1.2 and it seems to 
work fine  with the most recent incarnation of MacOSX 10.3.x.  I use it 
frequently -- concurrently with  two  TNCs and two MacTNC windows 
running different speeds --  and have had no significant problems.

What IS an issue, however, is that the serial control libraries I used 
in RealBASIC to write MacTNC are broken in Panther -- and without a 
very extensive rewrite, I won't be able to make any changes and compile 
the changes. That means that MacTNC is basically stuck at version 1.2.  
If the serial control libraries I used are  updated  (apparently 
unlikely)  to work under later versions of OSX, I'll probably make a 
few changes, improvements, recompile and release. If they aren't, I 
won't since I'm not convinced the functionality is worth the time 
involved in re-writing it.

ZTerm is a great  program, and I have used it for years. With MacTNC, I 
was trying to build in some features that weren't readily available in 
Zterm -- but in a pinch and for eveyday use without the extra features, 
Zterm is more than adequate.
