Where did you get this version from? The version on SIMTEL is ver
3.84. Simtel also has another package called UNICOM, which seems nice,
except that it has a *very* irritating shareware "register me" message
that pops up far too often for my liking. I installed it with the idea
of testing it, but got so bugged with the message that I gave up.

I also use Telix within a window, finding its power makes me feel very
unhappy with other software. Little things like being able to redefine
my keyboard (so that the infernal Emacs key-commands go away to some
extent) are nice touches in Telix.

I still haven't managed to do reliable zmodem transfer in the
background with *any* software, whether it is Telix running in a
window, or a Windows application running as an icon.  Everytime
something I am doing in the foreground writes to disk, zmodem gets
stuck, and then takes a *long* time to recover. I am beginning to
think that this is a limitation with Windows, not with the software I
am running.
