I have sent the source, termcap and documentation of ACSTERM to our
moderator for possible inclusion in the archives. I will also send it
directly to anyone who requests it. It is about 39K bytes.

------------
ACSTERM is a terminal emulator for the Atari 800, 800xl, 1200xl, 130xe.
It provides cursor motion, insert, delete, etc. The 'termcap' file tells
UNIX systems how to manipulate your screen. With 'more' and screen editors
like 'vi', this does near the best that can be done with a 40 column screen.
	The tilde and curly brace characters are provided using a redefined
character set; ^M etc. have their usual ascii meanings.
	ACSTERM was written by Clint Parker, author of the Action system.
All sources are in the Action language.
    As downloaded from the bbs he maintained, you must use the Action cartridge.
Here there is also a modification that compiles with the run-time library
to make an executable file that needs no cartridge.

	NB! R-Verter owners: The RHAND1C modem handler converts tilde and
brace characters. Since they provide the source, I deleted those parts.
I also cured occasional glitches it had running full tilt at 9600 baud,
and improved its handling of S/Reset. As that software is copyright, I
can't upload my version. However I am willing to upload a 'diff' file
that shows the changes I made. 

	These are the files:
TERM.DOC 	read this
TERMCAP.ACS	get this into your UNIX
TERM.AC0	Compile this file.
TERM1.AC0	these files will
TERM2.ACT	be INCLUDEd
TERM.AC2	My modifications
TERM1.ACT	of TERM, TERM1.
BLKIO.ACT	CIO caller and fast I/O.

I wrote an XMODEM module but never got it integrated into ACSTERM.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    This is an archive made with the UNIX utility 'ar'. Its first line is:
        !<arch>
For some reason the ! causes 'more' to think it's not an ascii file; but
'cat file | more' works, as does vi.
    If you don't have 'ar', split it with a text editor.
