subject: First ever telnet GWTerm

Well, I think this might be official.

I added (rudamentary) GWTerm support into the OS/X/Win32/Linux telnet
terminal I am working on today.

To my knowledge, this is the first telnet term with native GWTerm support,
and I'm chomping at the bit to release it :)

It's a work in progress, but I've put a screenshot of the program in action
with three different bbs connections going on (one with GWTem showing in the
front) at the URL below:

The terminal can also be resized to full-screen (or shrunk down), which is
very cool- playing Global War at 1280x1024 :)

Unfortunately, the GWTerm "protocol" interferes to some extent
with standard
telnet and ANSI protcol commands, so I imagine that I will be changing the
GWTerm protocol in the near future.

In other news, I'll be sending each of the Hackin' Crackin' beta testers a
new version in the next few days.  There's been some improvements, and I'm
trying to hack out the FOSSIL support so it actually works :)
