Been looking for V-term. Can't find it anywhere on the net.  Also Roger, it would be GREAT if you could release your term program. I bet its awesome :)

I never released this terminal program because it wasn't really complete enough to hand out, but since it's modular and uses plug-ins like Projector-3 does, I could try to build a basic copy of it with a few emulation drivers and file transfer protocol drivers.

I think it does 8 FG and 8 BG colors which looks very nice but the font is a reduced pixel font similar to those old 51 character patches for BASIC.  It looks nice and has pop-up windows and a menu bar up top.
