Re: Games added at The BoycoT BBS

Kinda strange.  I don't have any problem using Ansi.  I've used Proterm, DOS
Telnet, Hyperterminal, and the web telnet app...I haven't experienced any
problems..except in the full-screen editor. When I press return, it acts
like I pressed return twice...but that doesn't happen when I'm using
Proterm.
