[Coco] V-Term here... [Color Computer] Re: Terminal Program

[Little John]

Roger,
I have now uploaded VIP Terminal + Manual here:
http://gimechip.com/files/VIP_Terminal_SOFTLAW.7z
Again, I'll leave it for a few days. Feel free to add it to your site. 
Hopefully, I will have some more of the CoCo Terminal programs ready for 
upload soon and perhaps the person that made the original request will find 
at least one that meets his needs.
-JohnT-
