Amiga RIP term FAQ
                           ------------------

	I seem to get alot of email and calls to my support BBS by people
looking for information on Amiga RIP terms, So to save you time I'll tell
you what I know.

	Terminus is supposed to support RIP soon. (I provided Jack with some
information he didn't have yet)

	Various people are working on XEM libraries, although I have no
idea if it is true or not. If you are, please email me and I'll provide you
with some useful stuff (I have converted all the fonts from the RIPTERM.FNT
file... all you need to do is ask for them).

	Lastly, is a program that I am beta testing called AmigaRIP. It
offers very good support (90% or so) of the protocol, but still has a few
things needed before it will be released publically. It works perfectly with
every BBS I called with it.

	The AmigaRIP program I talked about, has been released publically
although it appears it was released by a beta testers without the authors
permission. I've heard people were not too impressed, I believe the author
is working towards a program that will impress you...

	I've started on my own RIPTERM, which I hope to release real soon.
It should have the basic terminal program features that everyone expects.
I may also take a look at writing an XEM library (since nobody else is
AFAIK) I'm not sure it is possible under the current XEM specifications.
