*** RELINE THIS PLACE WITH YOUR MESS ***

Can anyone tell me how to get a recent version of Kermit for the Atari
XL/XE computers?  A year ago last month, I got "Kermit for the Atari"
(don't have the version # in front of me, sorry) from net.micro.atari,
and it has a couple of problems (immediately locks up my 130XE about
half the time; after drawing the phone #s on the screen, the autodialer
routine CLEARS the screen, then puts the selection-cursor on screen [a
psych. test?]).  I am considering fixing it, but hoping that there is a
more recent version with (at least one of) these problems fixed.  How
well does the VT52 emulator in Kermit [or is there another term. now]
work?

Also, I have seen mention of (what sounds like) a VT100 emulator that
is available on Compuserve.  Is this guy in the public domain?  Can I
get a copy somewhere, or would any of you kind folks mail it to me?

I am currently running an "old" APX version of Chameleon, which will
emulate an ADM3A properly, but the VT52 emulation mode hasn't worked on
any UNIX system I've ever used [AT&T or 4.2BSD], despite deletion of
"am:" from the termcap entry (there wasn't an "am:" in the most recent
case anyway).  (BTW, I hear that ANTIC magazine has a new[?] Chameleon;
can anyone tell me if it emulates better terminals [or the VT52
properly] now?  I like Chameleon's other features, and will miss them
if I abandon it for an emulator that doesn't have them [or attempt to
hack them in, maybe?].)

Bruce Langdon sent me ACSTERM (Thanks again, Bruce), but it seems to
have serious problems with vi, more,...  It could be a termcap problem;
we have had to tweak some termcap entries here, and I haven't tried
Bruce's modified version yet, but I'm still generally disappointed with
all the emulators I've seen (I have recently gotten tired of the ADM3A
I guess...).

I would appreciate any information you folks could give me.  (Mail or
post as you see fit, this group is very 'quiet' anyway...)
