anyone tried ICY_TERM yet?

Post by brianmartin_2001 »

Folks,

just wondered if anyone has tried out ICY_TERM .
It's a BBS client program that can apparently do

Ansi BBS, Avatar, PETSCII, ATASCII and Viewdata emulation.

Sounds like the perfect terminal program.

Looks interesting, but it doesn't seem to want to run on my machine unfortunately.

Any idea what the issue is? The author was on CCL4 claiming trying to drum up
interest. He was very enthusiastic about it's capabilities there so I thought it
was worth looking into..

No idea. I just click the .exe and nothing happens. Nothing in the task manager, no hint of anything anywhere.

I've opened an issue on the Github page to see if the author has any suggestions.
