The attitude of condemnation has been somewhat

Are you familiar with tcl/tk? I am not.
Many apps being used successfully with Puppy Linux

A couple of random observations
- UI is the hardest part
- next is device interface (sound cards, RS232) though the effort to
abstract that out pales in comparison to the problem of providing a
best-of-breed UI for different platforms

I'm not really sure what that means, and I'm pretty sure I didn't say
B2F is the same protocol as B1F. Only the compression is the same.
Yes, cross-platform development requires an "extra effort" -- just as
putting a man on the moon requires an "extra effort" compared with
climbing a tree.

Hello Simon,
I want to thank you for the great software and as somebody who has actually
attempted a little programming (with mixed results) I know the amount of time
and effort you have put into the software.
I usually run a beta version of your software and find your beta version runs

There is already a degree of Huffman-type compression in PSK31 via the
Varicode, where the number of bits per symbol depends on symbol
frequency.
Compression that depends on the text that went before it could be more
efficient, but would lead to total loss of the following text in the

If it is the same protocol as B1F, was the reason for developing it,
that the B1F did not have the needed exchange to work with Winlink 2000?
So it is basically an extended version to do more "things" that they
need to have it do?
I don't think that I am fully understanding what your code is be
It's not that the distro's are not compatible. Distributions by the
different vendors, i.e. redhat, mandrake, suse, puppy, etc. pretty
much use the same linux kernels, libraries, and software. They are
generally just different conglomerations of software based upon what
the distro is aimed at. W
The Winlink 2000 promoter brings up B2F from time to time with the claim
that this is what makes their system have the extra efficiency. But
apparently this is a bit overstated.
Is it possible to use more compression in the current keyboard modes or
is Varicode about as good as can be expected?
Peter is mostly correct about this. Microsoft is not involved in this
issue at all. If a vendor does not see a market for their product with a
given OS, they just are not going to spend the money needed to develop
that driver.
However, my understanding is that in some cases it is not the vendor

Not bad...but quite a few DXpeditions and less luck people cannot rely

I am afraid it is as Rein says.
FBB, which uses B1F compression (hope I remember right) does not
compress the sysop keyboard, but just the BBS traffic.
JNOS has a compressed ttylink mode that uses LZW and has never worked
for me (compile errors), but which might provide an edge.

Sorry, typo in the message, should have said: ".. and others who are
