  clicking on Display Mode or Window Mode (confusing isnt it?)

  * v0.2beta RELEASE NOTES (new release):

  Wow. When I released the original version of UselessTelnet I expected no
  interest at all. Was I wrong or what?? There was interest from day one
  and once it was mentioned on SlashDot the damn thing went nuts.

  So anyway this is a quick update. It now has 2 modes: the original
  Star Wars mode, and the new Matrix mode, which is even more useless
  than you can possibly imagine!

  Enjoy!


  * v0.1beta RELEASE NOTES (old release):

  1 of the things I get the most emails about is the settings screen on
  the Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Unoffical Screen Saver. Basically it
  displays the info about the screen saver in a scroller like the start
  of Star Wars. Aparently its impressive.

  I work for an ISP and use telnet almost every day of my life. But telnet
  is always pretty boring. So, long story short, I thought I'd combine
  the two!

  UselessTelnet is a 3D telnet client that displays its output like the 
  scroller at the start of Star Wars. Why? Well why not?

  What more could you expect from www.UselessCreations.com??

  I've found its great for running a Unix version of Seti@Home on. Just
  have the output scrolling away in a galaxy far, far away.. or something.

  I've also been told its good for command line chat programs like Goofey
  or some of the Unix ICQ clones.

  It requires Microsoft's version of OpenGL which comes with most versions
  of Windows these days. If you get errors about DLLs missing (usually if
  you've got the original version of Win95) You can download it from:

  ftp://ftp.microsoft.com/softlib/mslfiles/opengl95.exe

  Anyway if you find a use for it. let me know!
  If you like it, hate it, spot a bug or wanna see developement on it
  continue, send me an email!

  Enjoy!


* KNOWN PROBLEMS

  Well, I wrote this some time ago but never released it. But I decided
  that its pretty useless so theres no real point finishing it unless
  people want to use it. So this is a beta version to see if there's any
  interest in it.

  So.. its partially VT100 compatible but not completely. I wouldn't
  recommend trying to use vi under it. It aint fun.
