I have a monochrome 1040ST.   Both NITE and KILLER work fine for me.   Well, I
did notice that after NITE blanks out the screen, it doesn't turn it on  again
when something gets printed to the screen (this was in UniTerm); you  actually
have to hit a key or move the mouse to revive the screen.   Is this a bug or a
feature?  Moshe?  Also, I find 2 minutes is too short a time-out period --- is
there any way to change this to, say, 5 minutes?

I posted a note about this yesterday.  In my case,  Moshe's  program  dies  on
files that have "CR-CR-LF" end-of-line combinations (which is apparently  what
uEmacs 3.7i writes out), though it works correctly on files with "CR-LF" or LF
end-of-lines.   The older version I have works correctly on all three of these,
though as you noted it does take 10000 times as long.  Try using  DUMP.TOS  to
look at the files that do/don't decode.
