Un-boo-ing programs are available in assembler, C, Turbo Pascal, and
Fortran.  MSBPCT.BOO is a BOO-encoded version of an .EXE built from the
C source, and is quite fast.  The Basic version is for people who don't
have anything.  They can download it, or type it in, and then unboo the
C version, which they can then use to unboo longer files, like Kermit
itself.  As you point out, 2.30 does not offer VT220 emulation, and neither
did 2.29 or any earlier mainline version.  The version you're talking
about, 2.29.1, is a special, one-shot version, only for the Rainbow, that
was contributed by Dave Knoell of Basic American Foods in Vacaville, CA.
If differs so radically from the mainline version that it was not possible
to include all of the changes in 2.30.  Therefore this special version is
still available as MSVRB2.*.  To my knowledge, Dave doesn't have time to
upgrade this version to include the 2.30 features, like long packets,
login scripts, etc.  - Frank
