    I've used SyncTERM quite a bit for some of my wifi modem dev -- thanks
    for your work on it.

    To your question, 1.0 looks a bit closer to reality. Perhaps something
    in the intensity direction of 1.1, but not quite all the way to it?
    Dunno, just my opinion.

    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:

    I just started using it recently (Been and still am a NetRunner user) I never could get 1.0 to emulate it at least without the wrong fonts. I can use 1.1 though and although I am not used to the larger font it runs pretty well and looks pretty clean. I use it to log into my Commodore BBS' so I can see what
    is being transmitted and what I am receiving and they are pretty much the
    exact same.. Not sure if this is what you were looking for..
