It appears to come in two variants: SLED and SLHED (for hercules adapters -- How many of you folks remember the 'Herc?) (Me. --

runs perfectly well in a DOS window under Windows 98 (possibly also Win NT family command window, but not tested).
Feature-rich for such a small executable.

Runs just fine in a VDM under WinXP
? Pro, and should probably run in a VDM under Win2K as well. (Haven't booted into 2K to test it.) Screen size is hard coded at 25x80.
Handles absurdly long lines. I did a test years back, and finally got it to choke on a line about 116KB long.
