From: alsaggaf@athena.mit.edu (M. Saggaf) Subject: ANNOUNCE: Seyon 0.5 is out (X11 communiaction package) Date: Wed, 11 Nov 1992 00:10:57 GMT
I've put it on sunsite. Seyon is now a complete X11 communication
package (well, almost). Let me know of any bugs (and also of success
stories). The following is the introducion and the change log:
Introduction:
=============
This is Seyon, an X-based communication package that has its roots in
xcomm 2.2. Seyon is still in alpha, but is quite usable. It has a
descent dialing directory where hosts can be chosen by clicking at
them. Seyon has the same script language as xcomm 2.2, which is quite
good. Seyon avoids the problematic terminal emulation of minicom and
other communication programs by using xterm as its terminal emulator.
Hence, Seyon can emulate vt100 and color ANSI (the latter only if
color xterm is used). Some non-essential features are still not
implemented but will be in the near future. If you use Seyon and like
it, please let me know by email. This will give me the incentive to
continue maintaining it.
Change Log:
===========
Version 0.5:
* Added a new transfer console that invokes a pre-defined
protocols ala minicom and all DOS comm programs.
Intelligent enough to prompt for a file name if needed.
* Added support for specifying the modem port in the
resources.
* Added a new shell button to pass commands to the shell.
* Moved the status button to be a part of tge set 'Set'
console and added initial implementation to the set
console (not functioning yet).
* The hangup button now asks for cofirmation.
* The exit button now asks if you want to hangup before
exiting.
* Corrected the '-g' switch problem (now '-script') and
enabled the execution of a script specified at the
command line.
