	Yes, great article!  I keep hoping to write to Greg and plea
	for a good followup on Z-100 Kermit.  With the improvements
	Drew Derbyshire has been making, it's no longer a "poor cousin"
	to the PC version.

HUH?  Not poor -- flat broke.  One release back, no VT-100, no TEK4014
no screen rollback... has someone been slipping you copes of Kermit with
my name on it?

HOWEVER, good news, I am working on it again (I was doing UUCP hacks for
two months), and if I let my new car sit in the driveway for a change I'll
have new version for people to abuse.  It runs _alot_ faster (not your
copy Dick, you already have the fast version).

Anyone got a nice example in MASM of how to detect if the user has
multiple pages of video memory and how to swap between them?  I am even
willing to copy the memory to a buffer if needed.
