GeoComm is part of the desktop package Geoworks Ensemble(or if you would buy
the latest version New Deal Office). What it takes to get it running is to
copy the application itself, the termcap files you want(put them in
b:\geoworks\userdata\termcap) and the C Stream Driver Library file(put it in
b:\geoworks\system) from the desktop version. I'm not sure if the shareware
version had it included or if the new shareware version does either. Keep in
mind that GeoComm is not full of features, but does allow for VT100/52 and
ANSI terminal emulation, have a small scripting language and allows for Xmodem
transfers which at least makes it useable.
Your project does sound interesting. I'm toying with a Star Trek game mayself,
but have just since found the original code to try a conversion to IZL.

Mike
