What the hell?
==============

!Hippoterm is a viewdata terminal programme primarily for connecting to
viewdata bulletin boards and internet sites.

!GreasyNip is a frontend for !Hippoterm which allows you to change which
serial driver Hippo uses without pratting about with !run files...

Viewdata used to be a very popular communications protocol used by many for
their Bulletin Board systems. Although there were hundreds of viewdata systems
during the 1980s at the moment only one remains online, that is CCl4.

A few viewdata 'old hands' have ganged up and started The Viewdata Revival
which has involved making viewdata BBses available over the internet.

This piece of software is part of that revival.
