Re: OS4 terminal emulator w/ ANSI color emulation?

No need for any terminal emulation, the "Shell" (console device/handler) of Amiga already supports ANSI colour control codes. As do terminal emulators such as Term, VLT, AmTelnet, AmTerm and probably a whole lot more.

Yes, it works with Roadshow, I use it all the time. You need AmiTCP: assign set up, and AmiTCP:bin, AmiTCP:db, AmiTCP:etc and AmiTCP:serv, and then you can just let the installer do its thing. The AmiTCP: paths are hardcded into the binary...Did you ever try AmTelnet btw?

Regarding mui classes, you should be careful. OS4 had PowerPC native mui classes, the ones coming with AmTelnet are of course 68k binaries - you want to keep PPC native ones :) Mui classes typically, but not always, come in pairs, for example term.mcc and term.mcp - the mcp is the prefs programs to the class.

But ugh... the installer overwriting files without notifying the user and offer to do backup is bad. A away around this problem is doing what MorphOS does, by having assigns set up so user writable directories are ahead of system owned directories in the assign paths. I admit that I am reluctant about running installer scripts just like that, more often I am curious about what the script is about to do, so I read them first :p

Excellent, looks really good :)
I have been meaning to look into who might have the sources for AmTelnet etc, there are some bugs to iron out, and an update of the ssh support would of course have been wonderful. Sadly, Oliver Wagner, who ran Vapor-ware, is no longer around, he passed away not so long ago. :(

Btw - if you have Term, it comes with zmodem transfer library in its Libs drawer. If you add that drawer to your Libs: assign, or copy the zmodem library file to your libs:, AmTelnet supports zmodem transfers :)
