Hej August!

I got the above version from github which I created a v0.9.7.1 tarball from. 
I have been toying with it using vim's drop to shell command (!) and was
thinking it would make an interesting internetted BBS door but haven't really
done anything that dramatic ... yet.  Looking at the 'user-agent:' line I get
the impression it will play nicely with the correct versions of many web
browsers.  As you can tell from my call from vim that I am turing off ansi
support, but it does work on the 'linux' terminal, which in this case is a
full sized 1080p terminal capable of framebuffer graphics if that is something
of interest.  Also works in 'tmux' which I use to split the terminal into
smaller terminals that I can bounce around.  No need for a GUI which I
currently don't bother with on the EuroPoint.

Anyhow it works great for creating text documents in other languages which is
how I've been testing utf-8 capabilities.  At the moment it looks like
right-to-left languages (eg Hebrew) are displaying some proper word wrapping
issues which is my latest test as you have witnessed.  I am not sure I'll be
taking 'trans' out for a spin other than with vim.  Also note I don't have
audio turned on the EuroPoint.  I haven't tested that functionality but I
might on my main system that has all the toys including xorg and firefox,
which it *should* play nicely with ... I think.  I am not a big fan of GUI
apps so I have my doubts it'll get that far.  The BBS door idea has a much
better chance of actually happening.

Het leven is goed,
Maurice
