[Coco] plea for terminal independant os9 software

[L. Curtis Boyle]

SCRED from the developers pak supports terminals with something of a jr version of termcap (not compatible, but same idea). Also, on Compuserve, there was a PC program called OS9TERM that supported a decent subset of Level 2's windowing/text codes (including overlay windows) written  by a friend of mine. STERM (terminal program) had some limited TERMCAP support as well , from what I recall. 
And, of course, Keith Alphonso's (Alphasoft) Level 2 multiple-user BBS package.
