  • BT vs. BT/XE

    From Mvan Le to ALL on Thursday, August 24, 2006 19:40:00
    Hello :)

    Would anybody know off the top of their head the differences between BinkleyTerm and those BinkleyTerm/XE's (eXtended Editions) ?

    I've tried looking/reading for a Changes or History file a while back, but I remember seeing a lot of confusing and/or irrelevant stuff ...


    ... ARRRRRGGGHHH!!!! ... Tension breaker, had to be done.

    Not off hand... I used to one of the OS/2 XE versions; don't recall offhand which one, but I think I still have the archive around...
    Haven't used it myself since I switched to Linux, though I do plan to
    again on my Mac laptop... (when I can find the time to work on it...<g>)

    Isn't there a Unix version of BT ?

    I believe so, yes; at least, so far as I know, the 'linux' version of XE
    could also be compiled on a Unix system given the proper tools...

    Hello, Mvan...

    Look for a file called XE_USER.DOC. I have a copy here, but you aren't a listed
    sysop so I didn't want to just dump it in somebody's inbound.

    Regards,
