   Rob Swindell to All   
   SyncTERM users?

   Anyone here use SyncTERM for CBM/PETSCII emulation when connecting to C64 or   
   C128 boards?   
      
   If yes, I have a request of you: compare the SyncTERM v1.0 C64 or C128 "screen   
   modes" with those in the current v1.1b (beta) and let us (the SyncTERM   
   dev-team) know *which* color representation best reflects what you would expect   
   to see in a CBM/PETSCII terminal.   
      
   Here are some screen shot comparisons (C64 screen mode) if you just want to   
   peek and comment quickly:

   If you're not sure where to get SyncTERM for your own use, v1.0 (the latest   
   official release) can be found at   
   https://sourceforge.net/projects/syncterm/files/latest/download   
      
   and the current v1.1b can downloaded (or built from source) at   
   http://syncterm.net/   
      
   SyncTERM 1.1b fixes multiple PETSCII (and other unrelated) issues but also   
   introduces some other new problems you may notice, so it could be good to keep   
   v1.0 installed/on-hand.   
      
   The reason I ask here about the color palette changes in SyncTERM v1.1b is that   
   SyncTERM v1.0's color representation reminds *me* of my own Commodore BBS days,   
   but someone suggested that was because I didn't have the brightness adjusted   
   correctly on my television and the current SyncTERM v1.1b color representation   
   more accurately reflects the true C64 and C128 color palettes.   
      
   The input of experienced/current Commodore users would be appreciated by the   
   SyncTERM dev-team.   
      
   Thanks,   
      
   -Rob
