This posting contains FreeTerm 2.0, a "dumb" glass-TTY emulator
that supports XMODEM and MacBinary II.  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

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 ;-)
