Hi,
    Having just obtained the new system software from BMUG, thanks Berkeley, I
would like to get a terminal program that allows background down loading under
Multifinder.  The two programs that have had the most net discussion have been
VersaTerm 3.1 and RedRyder 10.3 .
    Could people who have experience with these programs please give a detailed
description of features and bugs for these two programs?  Also how are these 
programs different from previous versions? (the most obvious comparison might
be between RR 9.4 and 10.X)  How well does the host mode for RR work?
    Are there any other programs out there that are comparable to the two above 
and also support background operation?
    Lastly if you got your copy mail order where did you get it and how much did
you pay?  Sorry for all the questions but as you know iqnorance is bliss; and Im
a very happy guy :-} (usually).

                                        Scott
