I'm searching for this c64 terminal program emulator,
it is an Amiga terminal program designed to logon onto a local c64 bbs...

anyone got this?
Cheers!

no luck. the closest thing i can find is "C64 Color Terminal Emulator" by 1991 Greg Pfountz - but it is for msdos only. he also wrote the Color 64 BBS system. maybe he wrote Color Term for the amiga, but i can not find any information.
i zoned the two versions i found - they do work with dosbox 0.74.
a transcript of c64friends is talking about " color term 2.0" - maybe their irc chat is still working and you can ask there ?

Edit: strange, now i found Color Term 2.0 - topik-0007.dms. not 2.2, but something i hope

heh, yep. version 2.1 on it

Edit: the colorterm folder contains some fonts you need to copy to fonts:

copy upper8 to fonts:c64upper/8
copy lower8 to fonts:c64lower/8
copy c64upper.fon to fonts:c64upper.font
copy c64lower.fon to fonts:c64lower.font

then the program will start.
