It is available from machine: agate.berkeley.edu directory: /pub/incoming/pcvt-2.0 files: README pcvt-2.0.shar.Z pcvt-2.0.tar.Z He will try to put it also on wuarchive.wustl.edu. 2) I have received mail from Mark C. DiVecchio (markd@silogic.uucp). He writes: "I have been using the name PC-VT for a program which I have had out as shareware since 1984. The name is copyrighted." Sorry, we were not aware of this program, and we will change the name of the driver with the next release. 3) Someone has had problems with the driver on a VGA card / monochrome Monitor. This is because noone of us had a monochrome monitor available and i wrote the "color"-tables for that blindly. Later this week i will get access to one such combination so this will be fixed.
