Detailed review of ZEBRA SYSTEMS’ ZTERM-64 terminal program for the TS2068, used with their OS-64 column module ($29.95 each). The review covers the 16-line display limitation, phone number and macro storage, X-MODEM send/receive capability, buffer management, support for AEI/A&J microdrives, and a mystery ‘USER DEFINED DEVICE’ feature that proves to be undocumented. Concludes it is a clear improvement over MTERM.
