Not that I recall. It was precompiled when I saw it and was usually "shipped"
as two zip files. One for ssh32.exe (and most support files) and another for the
cryptography libraries.

Yeah... :) If I was at home, I would be too.

: agreed. it's pretty darn cool. how do you "download" it and run it?

I usually have to grab most of the zip files they have until I find the one
that gives me mindbright.jar or similar. (I'm trying to connect to a machine on
which I've installed it right now...) Then I copy one of the sample index
files from another machine that I know has MindTerm working. :) It is installed
at <http://www.txis.com/term/> if you want to look at the index file there.
(Well roadrunner(kill?) is down in south Austin, so I can't get to that machine.)
I'm relatively sure that mindbright.jar is the filename from an older version,
but I think the newer version's filename is mindtermfull.jar.
At any rate, I have used it from within Netscape on win32 machines quite often,
though it does require a recent 4.x version. It doesn't work on Mac OS unless
you use Apple's Macintosh Runtime for Java, which excludes Netscape on Mac OS
unless you get the beta "make MRJ work" plug-in from the Mozilla project. :)
I have not personally tried IE on either platform. :)
As far as I know the other packagings of MindTerm are intended for use as
stand-alone Java apps., but I have yet to try them.
So, I expect that's more rambling than you expected but I hope it helps... :)
